How many times have you been charged with drunk driving?
One of us has worked in law enforcement. It's not you, though.
Whether one is "tempted" or not is irrelevant, as being "tempted" is not a crime.
One can avoid "temptation" by avoiding the situation entirely. This is something within your control. To suggest that such things "happen" to someone is to suggest a world in which control is not possible. This is an aviation forum. Control is absolutely necessary. If you cannot control yourself, we have arrived at the root of your problem.
You have no right to hold a medical, constitutional, or otherwise. You have no right to hold a pilot certificate, and the constitution offers no relief. The FAA is chartered as an Act of Congress, charged with regulating, promoting, and enforcing aviation, and in the creation and maintenance or aviation regulation. Do you understand the difference between criminal law, civil law, and administrative law? Do you understand the differences in standards, processes, protections, and pitfalls? You do not. Your waffling on about "constitutional" this or that paints a clear picture of your ignorance on the subject.
Come clean. Your understanding of this subject, or what you deem your understanding, comes from having been charged or arrested for intoxication or operation under the influence, doesn't it? The reference to your axe to grind, made above, is spot on.
Foot the bill. Tilt at that windmill. Battle it through, see where you get. See if you can find any constitutional right to hold a medical in the first place, then see if you have any way to apply the US Constitution to the medical standards in 14 CFR Part 67.
Yours is not the voice of an experienced attorney, altruistically seeking to right injustice in the system (do you have any idea how to go about changing the regulation?). Yours is not the voice of an experienced law enforcement officer sharing his street wisdom. Yours is not the song of an experienced airline transport pilot with a vast wealth of career moments from which to draw and share.
Yours is the voice of a 21-23 year old kid who wasn't bright enough to keep off the sauce or keep keys out of hand when drinking, and perhaps who did actually sleep with a cop's wife (god help you, kiddo, because it's not just that officer you'll need to watch out for, and being a pilot won't make a hill of beans difference).
Grow up, learn to handle a set of car keys and a drink, stay away from other men's wives, don't talk back to police officers acting in the capacity of their sworn duties, and for god's sake, grow a brain before you try to advance your career in the cockpit. You sound like a major mishap in the making.
For now, it's clear that any further interaction with you is a waste of life, space, breath, and wear on my keyboard, so you're off to the ignore list. Bye.
Perfect. Just perfect.

These laws don't change themselves, if this bugs you so much, what ends have you pursued to get your elected representatives to change them? What groups have you contacted to assist?

I think you are missing something here. The original poster stated that he did not commit adultery with the police officer's wife and that it was a high school crush that he flirted with briefly but got Dr. UNK instead of meeting her at DICKS.

Since JohnBurke is allowed to profile me.
Am I allowed to profile him?
I would argue he is a crusty old FAA Inspector who couldn't get a real flying job. Perhaps had a previous job as a LEO and thinks LEO's can do no wrong. He tries to portray himself as a "Good Christian". He is obviously jealous of the kids today making more than he ever did, flying jets that he never could fly.
I have much more... but am I close John?

Opinions in the case of a DUI could mean the difference between 100 bucks or upwards of 15,000.
Which side do you want to be on?
Are you also of the "opinion" that you can be convicted of a DUI just by simply being by your car in a parking lot with keys in your pocket?
I think we should perhaps take it to a vote on this site. Because according to Rick and supported by John, "everybody" knows.
Wanna take a vote?
My position is not an opinion, it is fact.

You missed something here. Wasn't replying to you, but I did quote the poster to whom I replied. My reply was to the quoted material. Doesn't have a damn thing to do with the original poster, but a lot to do with the QUOTE to which I responded. Reading is key, here.

Are you trying to reach ONE person or MANY people?
Btw - personally I think you are putting FAR too much faith in your opinion poll, but again - that is just me.
If it bolsters your argument - pile it on.

As to the BAC “allowance”, we were told that it exists because breathalyzers are not sufficiently accurate below a certain concentration.
