Where does the madness end? The New Jersey state legislature is considering a law that would prohibit smoking in cars. The latest thing in ankle wear is being unveiled across the nation as well. The new ankle bracelet is capable of monitoring blood alcohol content and sending a message to police if this exceeds the acceptable limits. Mandating the usage of such equipment is imperiling more civil liberties.
