Well, I live in Harris County, so this directly affects me.
First, I take public transport almost everywhere. Second, my home is within walking distance of my favorite watering hole. I *never* drive there.
BUT
I can never keep up with what the legal limit is this month. .05? I don’t even know how to relate that to number of drinks, but it sounds like a glass of wine.
I’ve had to call 911 four times in the last 8 months. The first time I called someone drove into our neighbors pick-up. The driver’s pick-up was wedged underneath and he was prying it out with a tire iron. It took the police 40 minutes to show, and only *after* they called us back asking for directions. The guys front end was destroyed and when he drove away you could see a thick black trail on the road. The police said, “Well, he’s gone now. I guess that’s that.” My wife pointed out that they could follow the big black tire marks.
I call 911 on drunks whenever I see them. The police don’t seem to care. I’m afraid they’ll use this power to intimidate whomever they choose and let the drunks free range.
Never call 911.
The only person who's freedom gets endangered by doing that is you.
