Yep Colorado is a conservative state and will require this device if he gets a DUI.

The guy's an attorney. So was the cyclist he hit, strangely (in the public defender's office). I hope they lock him up...but it seems unlikely. Perhaps someone will decide to make an example of him. Hey, a girl can hope...
