I didn't consent to being stopped arbitrarily to see if I was violating any crimes at the time. Driving as a privelege is not a valid view. The whole point of this clause is not to find drunk drivers but to give them a means of providing prima facie evidence that a driver is under the influence when they find a drunk one. -Ron
