Explain This

Ohio State Highway Patrol,firefighters and police officers in some other areas of the state are allowed to work as long as their blood alcohol content is below .04. I have respect for the police and firefighters,but who would want someone impaired making life and death decisions? never mind issuing tickets and carrying a gun. Drivers in OH. under the age of 21 can be cited for blood alcohol content above .02,meaning they could write tickets for a person that was more sober than they were. This rule is in their union contracts to protect them from being wrongfully accused of drinking on the job...does that make .04 blood alcohol any less impaired? Sorry,I don't get it the same should apply to all when it comes to blood alcohol levels and occupations shouldn't make a difference.
