Police Officers
Is it legal for a Police Officer to watch or cruise the parking lot of a bar, to sit on the street side of a bar or frequent the pizzaria in the same building and wait for people to leave, or have a reserve officer working in the bar and notify patrolmen when people are leaving?

It saves money, time, and manpower to police the areas where potential drunk drivers take the road.
Or... do you think drunk drivers should have a sporting chance at the risk of the public?
Or... should bar owners risk Dram Shop Liability by not calling the police when they see an obviously drunk patron refuse a taxi and crawl into his SUV?
Do you think drunks should have an arrest free driving zone around bars.... say a mile radius? Or, how about two?
