Should Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Be Considered DWI?

[fj1200]

Should failure to maintain your vehicle be considered an operation violation? Driving with carbon monoxide poisoning is as dangerous as driving drunk. I'm pointing out that the cop should have tested for that. Chiefly CO poisoning occurs when people wait until they can afford it to get it repaired. Modern vehicles are still a risk if the leak occurs before the catalytic converter. This is more of a danger these last couple of years because more people are driving wrecked cars because of inflation.

How many alleged DUCO violations do you think there are? I'm only saying that he was driving under the influence and thus not falsely arrested. "I have a crappy car and thank you for saving my life" as a jury nullification defense doesn't seem to far fetched or not worth prosecuting as a DA. I'm not seeing this as a critical law enforcement issue that needs additional legislation. Having a crappy car and have a CO detector may not be a bad idea on a personal level. If this were an actual problem however I think we'd see the left as having been calling for CO detector mandates by now.

Oops, I just spoke it into existence.
