Should the city use a mobile blood-alcohol testing van when arresting drunken drivers?

“It seems like an OK idea, but I don't think that it's really necessary. I thought there were a lot easier ways to check.”

“I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea. It would prevent drunk driving because they know that there is no way to talk their way out of it or avoid the test.”

“It sounds reasonable. But before I was a Christian, I was busted for smoking pot while driving with some friends, and they did nothing. So if they are serious about using it, then sure.”

“Oh yeah, definitely. Anything to catch drunk drivers and keep them off the streets of Lawrence.”
