Drunkometer Bill Dies In Assembly
In Raleigh AP reports the drunko meter bill was killed for practical purposes as the Senate Judiciary II committee indefinitely postponed it. A sub committee substitute was rejected on Sen Garland Garris of Montgomery's motion. Sen Arthur Kirkman of Guilford questioned proper presentation of the case for the skill. The measure would have allowed chemical tests for intoxicated drivers and used test results in court. Meanwhile, House Judiciary discussed speeding penalties up to two years in jail and placing proof burden on car owners for speeding over 80. Rep Hubert Humphrey of Guilford argued the measures would curb high speed chases by allowing warrants when only a license number is reported. Percy Wall of Greensboro Municipal Court cited 117 such cases in 14 months through last March, noting patrolmen often misread plate numbers and advocating weight toward life and property. Discussion continued to Thursday.
