This is no more than an interesting debate on our civil rights to me. For the record, I have never been stopped under suspicion of DUI. I've never been asked to perform the roadside test, nor have I ever been asked to blow into a breathalyzer. Come to think of it, I have never actually even seen one. Total non-issue for me.
The forfeiture of specific rights to garner specific privileges granted by the state is the larger issue, at least in my humble estimation. I don't think we should have to do that. In a country wherein "all power is inherent in the people", the people have the authority to grant their government certain powers over them - the government does not have the authority to grant, and therefor deny, privileges.
