We have become desensitized to being strong armed by our overlords.
Well, I would put a finer touch on that and say that it's MADD that has been strong-arming people and the "overlords" in government saw a good thing for "revenue enchancement" when it fell into their laps... LOL...
As part of the DUI sentence in Florida, one must pay someone to put a steering wheel lock on the car for a “vehicle impoundment”. This along with DUI School, Victim Awareness panel, probation, loss of license, alco checks, drug tests, attorney fees, increased insurance, and court costs and fines.
