This is not against the first/fifth amendment because you will have already consented to it. Similar to a Breathalyzer you will have "implied consent" when you get a license. Either you consent to this and get your license or you don't consent and you lose it/cannot get it. Driving is not a right, you need to follow the rules and consent to certain things in order to do it.
- SamReidHughes 10y agoThe thing is, driving is actually a human right.
- taneq 10y agoI don't think you need a state-granted license to exercise a human right.
- SamReidHughes 10y agoYou need one to practice medicine.
- justinlardinois 10y agoIs practicing medicine a human right?
- taneq 10y agoYou could maybe argue that the actual practice of medicine is a human right, but offering medical advice to others as a paid service is certainly not.
- SamReidHughes 10y agoPursuing the career of your choice, for the purpose of making profit, is also a human right.
- SamReidHughes 10y agoYes. Unless you're bad at it. Likewise with driving. It's not the actual manipulation-of-an-automobile part of driving. It's getting around the world in a timely manner, just like everybody else, instead of having to be interned in a bus for an extra hour.
- loeg 10y agoUnlike a breathalyzer, I don't think anyone has (yet) argued that a driving license implies consent to phone searches.
