There are many levels to what really is a DUI...
You got a guy who drank 19 12oz beers who kills 3 people in a crash. Next you have a guy who drinks 3 beers and gets pulled over and fails a breath test. A problem.. or does the media make it look more meater then it is?
Over all, there are many settle levels of what can go into a DUI.
Level's Schmevel's! The guy with the 19 12 oz. drinks, that's sloppy drunk, can make it home just the same as the one JUST over the legal limit. All of them deserve the SAME treatment.
DUi's are just like everything else in this unfair world. If you have enough money or know the right people chances are you can beat it or at least get it reduced to careless driviing. A friend of mine who has plenty of $ and knows all the lawyers, judges and cops in town has had 2 and his kid has had 3. All have been either dismissed or lowered to careless driving. Both of them still can be found at one of the local saloons just about any night of the week.
I disagree. SOME people that have connections MAY get off, but those are few and far between, especially in the world we live today.
I agree. I can't believe so many people are defending this guy...
I have no problem with people going out and having a couple, and then driving home.
BUT if you get a DUI, you gotta wonder how. Was he driving 80 mph in a 30? Was he swerving all over the road? Crossing the center line? If you get a DUI, you got it because you couldn't drive right. You were driving so bad, some cop had to pull you over so you didn't kill somebody.
Too much tragedy and heartache to give someone a pass on this.
+!, though I wouldn't want YOU to quit YOUR job because you made a mistake, even if it was on purpose.
Or they got unlucky and had something like a taillight out and the cop could smell the alcohol.
Which is good, because that is just how many people with warrants, serial killer's and idiot's are caught.
It's too simple for some people.....if you drink, don't get behind the wheel and drive. I find that rule very clear and concise. No excuses. You're not lucky or unlucky, you can however, make bad decisions that can change your life. If you want a night of drinking & partying, make your arrangements for a ride home ahead of time or call a cab.
There are no what ifs.....
You have the right, SISTAH!!!
