Privacy and safety exist in tension, and it seems like there is a possibility that this law is helpful.
I have a right to travel, but no right to travel recklessly. Just like automated speed cameras, an in-car detection system could help reduce drunk driving and other kinds of reckless driving.
As long as 42,000 Americans per year die in crashes and alcohol is the #1 contributing factor, I think we should think creatively as a society about how to fix that.
I welcome a law which helps save lives - including the lives of drunk drivers - by detecting and limiting impairment at a vehicle level. There is no way law enforcement will ever be able to catch all instances of drunk driving without help and no way people will stop drunk driving in the first place. It’s time for some new policy.

Administer a small electric shock through their mandatory headgear until they comply. This is how we achieve utopia, where everyone is safe and no one dies of preventable causes.
