Wow.... there was a woman who got caught by the cops driving drunk 4 times, but she was let off as she had family in law enforcement—they were doing her family a favor, they thought.
Then one day she got drunk, drove 60 mph over the speed limit, and killed 4 teenagers.
That bike activist should be strung up. Letting someone who can’t drive, has no licence (nor insurance!), off because she is here illegally? What will the bike activist do when that woman kills a family?
We had a cop in our town who liked to drink a little too much, and kept getting stopped on the way home from the bar, only to be let off, again and again.
One day he screwed up, missed his turn, and put his car through a storefront in the neighboring town. Finally, those cops were less inclined to be understanding. He was arrested and finally lost his job.
For a lot of people, they will refrain from drinking and driving out of fear of the police, rather than the fear of sudden violent injury and death. You remove the fear of the police, and they have no incentive to stop.
