"There is no logic here"

But there is. It is against the law to knowingly overserve a bar patron. While this can certainly be used (and often is) as a "gotcha" by the liquor authories against an establishment with a history of trouble, any bartender who can't tell that a customer who turns out to have a BAC of .298 is too intoxicated to be served deserves to slapped hard. This is just an example of the police writing up everyone who had anything to do with this avoidable mess.

The purpose of the law is to promote public safety. Reasonable. The use of the law (here) is to acquire assets for failure to guarantee private safety. Impossible and unreasonable. Destructive to the public trust in the authorities. Always ends badly for both the state and the people.

This is just an example of the police writing up everyone who had anything to do with this avoidable mess.

The perpetrator was a young, relatively inexperienced driver. This is one factor that was avoidable also.
