Alcohol vs marijuana

Spot checks are illegal in America, you need probable cause.

And we know the police don't profile!!

I don't like alcohol, or marijuana, or any drugs. If they serve a useful purpose - ok. Otherwise it is the dumbing down of America.

Spot checks are legal in US if they are published in advance.
First spot check was in Canada

Made it 66 years without being stopped or questioned and I imagine I will be quite PO'd if it ever happens. I've been watching "Live PD" on the idiot box and almost every stop is either a DUI or they find drugs. 90% have no drivers license, insurance or even ID and half the cars are stolen. Is this the new reality or more BS "Reality TV"?

Perhaps, I have been sheltered for to long and missed something? Has our Country become that big of a sh**ho*e?

While the cops are conducting a 'spot check' location they stop everyone. On top of the normal questions about booze and dope, they also check that you are wearing a seat belt and check the validation sticker on your plates. If you are driving a 'big truck' they also take a peak at your log book and bill of lading.

Yep, that all changed way back there during my tenure as a Dallas officer.

Every employer I致e work for has dispensed performance enhancing drugs (for free) in order to stimulate their employees to work faster.
The harmful effects are usually ignored for the sake of production. Effects include:
insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, an upset stomach, a fast heartbeat and even muscle tremors.
Most of the employees consume these stimulates at work because theyæ±*e free versus paying the dealer on the corner (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc..)
Personally I stay away from the stuff as much as possible. çš„tç—´ a gateway drug! ( 98% of all cocaine addicts tried coffee first).

LOL now that's a good one.

It was. Every employer I've ever worked for it got your butt fired.

Unfortunately, YES. America is a mess with uninsured drivers, no license at all, and usually no registration. Not to mention the one's who are drunk, high, or dipsy from Oxy's. It's a mine field out there...

It's better, not worse....
Since 1982, drunk driving fatalities on our nation’s roadways have decreased 51%, while total traffic fatalities have declined nearly 20%. Among persons under 21, drunk driving fatalities have decreased 80%
