As part of the MADD campaign to reduce drunk driving, manufacturers could easily create a small keychain device with a pushbutton and microphone. That keychain could interface with existing cellular and PCS sites nationwide, ringing up the local "Report a Drunk Driver" hotline with the press of a button. Simply press the button and snitch on the weaving maniac of your choice.

Of course, anonymity is a strong factor- most people do not report drunks simply because they don't feel like being a witness in court. With the MADD Remote Snitcher, you're just another anonymous snitch.. so long as they don't keep track of the ESN number.

       Bookworm: I've been pulled over, searched, breatholyzed and given the FST (field sobriety tests) before, simply because I drive a pickup truck in an area where the majority of drivers have Lexuses and Jaguars.. is that probable cause?
