It only proves that my situation is not an example of a .08 offender.
Nothing tricky about juveniles. Punish them so they understand that their actions and choices have consequences.
What didn't deter this kid was the fact the punishment was to lax. I opposed the SA at the time of this kids bench trial and my snapping got his sentence raised considerably. He still didn't get what I think he should have gotten but he did get a probation that mandated 364 days in jail if he had any alcohol infractions till he was 21. He didn't go to jail for a year so he was (at least) never caught doing it again.
Funny how when you KNOW you WILL spend time in jail for offending it actually has a deterring effect, isn't it?
Yep, just like the propaganda tries to claim the 0.08 change led to decreased fatalities, when one of the other factors is laws mandating license suspensions.
When you know you will lose your license, this has a change in the mindset.
