The government interest in controlling parking (which is pretty safe) is MUCH weaker than the interest it holds in stopping drunk driving (which is very dangerous).
The court is willing to give the police more lee-way when the stakes are demonstrably higher.
- ApolloFortyNine 8y agoIf every time I go downtown to shop there is no parking available, I'm going to stop going downtown. This is largely why these time limited parking laws come into play. I think thats enough to put chalk on a tire, if it's also legal to stop people and give them a breathalyzer (one is much more invasive than the other).
