But to me, thats the real criminal offense. Who would do that drunk if it was basically impossible in the sense it is part ofthe car in a non-central way where there's like bot one discrete part you can remove to dismantle it? If you were sober and took the time to criminally alter your car in the same way (but criminal) you cant have totalky tinted windowsand must have catalytic converter, i think basically everyone can agree you're prolly a piece of shit who needs judicial intervention

I can pretty easily imagine a scenario where this (ripping the processor out of the car) would be the right thing to do... let's say me and a bunch of friend get drunk in the middle of nowhere, one of us is injured and is going to bleed out, so the choice is to drive drunk to the hospital or let my friend bleed out. I'm going to drive drunk, and if that involves ripping out the processor that won't let me start the car because I'm drunk, I'm doing that. I get where you're coming from, but I think the blanket application of fixed rules with no consideration of context is pretty much always wrong.

  Rapextfully thats a ridiculous contrived example that internally doesnt even make sense. Alm that time spent on reverse engineering while you're drunk can be spent accepting your current reality and calling an expensed taxi ride home. Society will gladly pick up the tab now for a $20 ride to save itself $20,000 in legal costs just on its own side not to mention if you appeal and all the other stuff

  I guess you could have a centralized removeable unit that costs a fuck ton to replace and jacks your insurance rate up once it auto-alerts them when you've removed it. If you can prove exigent circumstances than its replaced for a smaller cost or free and your rates are ok but I don't see what insurance company is ever gonna be sitting pretty knowing you now have a history of removing the anti-drunk-driving enforcement mechanism and that you must have logically been dabbling or moonlighting in drunk driving :/
