Drinking and driving is very, very bad.
But this string of Florida court cases is fascinating.
Basically, the judges are letting people out of DUI charges because they can't access the source code to verify that the breathalizer actually works as advertised.
So, what's next? DVD players, Intel DRM, airport security screening software, or maybe national ID cards? More than likely, these people will start to be punished (as they should be), but it does provide an interesting angle for opposition to other similarly black-boxed government-mandated technologies.
