Accident Prompts Council To Review Limo Drivers Ordinance ( sex offenders with DUI's )

The Denver City Council planned to discuss changes to a limousine drivers ordinance that would keep sex offenders with drunken-driving records from getting licensed by the city.

Witnesses said that Stanley D. Sample, of Lakewood, was driving the limo. He did not have a special license as required by the city and he is a registered sex offender, 7News reported.

"As a parent, it just offended me to no end that he would disregard the court's order and the probation conditions and disregard the safety of these children," said Rosemary Rodriguez, the City Council president.

Sample was arrested after the accident for violating the terms of a 2001 guilty plea in a sex case.

Sample pleaded guilty in 2001 to contributing to the delinquency of a minor in Arapahoe County. He was ordered not have contact with anyone younger than 18 for the next four years.

We won't get any relief from these sorts of things until overweight hoplophobes are prevented from working at Dunkin' Donuts.

As long as they're doing that, shouldn't they ban limo drivers with sex offenses from getting drunk, and sex drivers with limo records from being offensive drunks?

I think the important part is we all feel safer knowing that, in the Mile High City, the limo licenses are being handed out to RESPONSIBLE, NON-DRUNK, NON-SEX-OFFENDING, people...

...who almost certainly have donated heavily to the City Council.
