This month the National Academy of Sciences Engineering and Mathematics (NASEM) published a report that encourages states to make it illegal for people to have one drink and drive.
The NASEM report titled Getting to Zero Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatalities claims that a persons ability to operate a motor vehicle begins to deteriorate at a BAC below 0.05 percent and recommends police arrest motorists for consuming one drink.
A Google search of the NASEM and Homeland Security returned close to a million hits. (If you still have doubts about NASEMs close relationship with the Feds, click here.)
Can you imagine how much higher those numbers will be if police are allowed to arrest people for consuming just one drink?
DHS is using numerous government agencies to convince states to lower their BAC limit.
NTSB has been trying to lower the BAC for five years
As you will see, DHS is going to great lengths to lower the national BAC from 0.08 to 0.05.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has been actively trying to convince states to lower BACs for the past five years.
People in four states could be arrested for consuming one drink
At least three more states are thinking of arresting people for consuming one drink and driving.
Last year it was revealed that Washington and Hawaii were also considering lowering their BAC to 0.05.and four days ago, Fox 11 revealed that Wisconsin was also considering it.
Which brings the total to four states, that will arrest people for having one drink.
The push to lower BAC to 0.05 has been going on worldwide for at least a decade.
For at least ten years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been trying to convince countries across the globe to lower their BACs to one drink.
