On Sunday, Tennessee began punishing drunken drivers by keeping them for at least one night in jail and then requiring them to complete three eight-hour shifts cleaning up roadsides while wearing orange vests that say, “I am a Drunk Driver.” According to CNN, Gov. Phil Bredesen has stated opposition to the law, arguing that it could mean reduced jail time for offenders, while the Tennessee Sheriff’s Association says it will increase counties’ costs and make record-keeping more difficult.
