    Eh.. googled it and came up with that.. You can def see situations where one or two drinks would put people over. have a drink and leave in 30 minutes? yeah maybe..

    um,, basically we have to draw a line somewhere. remember our rights should extend up until they infringe some one elses. now in extremes like hard drugs, we have to make judgement calls. is that the same as dropping the BAC requirement for harsh penalties down to the point where if you sniff alcohol you go to jail??? I dont believe so.. (and yes, you are sensing some exaggerations there). Everybody has past experiences on these subjects, and it's perfectly fine to weight your opinions with those.

    Say you have 2 beers, and get stopped at a check point... lose your liscense for a year.. a year... insurance rates sky rocket (if it's even possible to get insured anymore), your job is at risk if not gone already, you pay thousands of dollars etc.

    Say that happens again 3 years later,, automatic jail time.... (somebody correct me if need be)

    a total of 4 beers could do this to you... I know how that sounds.. but it's correct
    I'm with you lots more punishment not fitting the crime all over. Speeding tickets fit this too. Go twenty over in a ultra modern, high speed car with all the active safety stuff and it cost you a couple days pay. For going fast? potential for harming others maybe. In civil law you can't sue for possible damages, so why apply it to drinking and speeding?

    I stopped keeping track after 500 DUI arrests. I averaged 60-80 a year.

    I'm only at a few hundred...but I prefer real police work...lol.

    And I guess one could argue that this situation is about control or the fact that people are drinking, driving, and involved in accidents at some kind of astronomical rate. I believe this forum is the same one that talked about how dangerous car accidents were and the likelihood of getting killed or hurt in an accident. A very large percentage of those accidents have drugs and/or alcohol involved. I believe the argument was in response to gun control.

    It had a lot to do with being the LEAF grant coordinator for the agency and having overtime money to earn. Plus, patrol guys who were more than happy to pawn off their suspected DUI drivers to the DUI car!

    Ahhh, you're one of those guys. I don't mind DUI's. As long as I can make the DUI stop 2 hours or more before the end of my shift.

    Ha! No Kev, it is due to the finger tapping on the tablet. The forum doesnt like my tablet.
