Okay, is the law *only* for checkstops? (I still oppose, but want to clarify.) My understanding was it would be in force during any stop. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 12, 09:29 5
- any stop, but if not at a checkstop they still need a reason to pull you over. -- nm - mafic Mar 12, 09:34
- It sounds to me like the new law is a tool to use instead of the other traditional roadside tests of sobriety. - Beryllium Mar 12, 09:30 3
  - The more I think about this, the more I think it's just about court charges being dismissed. Nothing at all to do with safety. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 12, 09:34 2

thank you, that better explains what I was trying to say. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 09:27
