Even the bill's sponsor, Representative Scott Oelslager, a Canton Republican, says he believes these plates are very strict for first time offenders. He's introduced a "clean-up" bill which would limit the plates only to second time offenders or worse.

Waaah! I think the plates are a great idea. Judges used to have the option of including the drunk plates in a sentence, but almost never did. It's time we got drunks and Arizonans off of Ohio roads. (When this first came up, Arizona had a red on yellow plate design that looked very much like the drunk plates. Cops checked out Arizonans very carefully)

How about requiring the plate (or a magnet or clamp-on tag) to be there only when the drunk is driving the vehicle. There is no reason to shame an innocent spouse.
