New state laws that affect travelers in 2009

Yeah, but as an ex-cop you would've seen more drunk drivers than lung cancer cases brought up by second hand smoking. I, for one, believe both needed more regulation, more things to prevent drunk driving, and more strict laws on where you can smoke. Smoking in public poisons the lungs of those around you, and while not killing in the short term the way a drunk driving accident will, it can kill in the long term. Frankly, both are equally dangerous and need just as much regulation, though it's not deadly to drink an alcoholic beverage or two with your friends as long as you don't overdo it, it is deadly to get behind the wheel after "one too many."

As an ex-cop how many times did you and your buddys drive home drunk? I hang out with Cops and Judges you people are the worst. protect and uphold the law .and we need to regulate more laws. then the next day you arrest people for the same S@@t you did the night before.You want more laws regulated then start arresting cops and Judges .and you all should receive twice the sentence as the rest of us.

More laws to "prevent" drunk driving? What do you think that would accomplish, besides put even more useless laws on the books? There are lots of laws already in place, and according to a recent news report in Colorado, drunk driving has not abated as a result.

People KNOW it's illegal to drink and drive. More laws won't make them stop.

You can't legislate common sense.

Way to go, 'Scott'! You just spoke volumes on the people you tend to hang out with. Don't bundle up the good, law-abiding, law-enforcing officers with YOUR idiots that you speak of.
