I can see it now.  All the little speed traps in Georgia will
be converted into drunk-driving traps.  No more small stuff --
let's go for the big time!  Just provide the policement with
faulty alchohol detectors, stop all cars with out-of-state tags,
and arrest the driver for drunk driving (whether or not he's sober).
Then sell his car back to him.

And if that doesn't work, we'll confiscate their bank accounts,
so they won't have any money to buy liquor!
