Not discussed is the revenue generated by DUI arrests. How much money in fines does a municipality receive from DUI arrests compared to routine speeding? A lot more is my guess.

The local governments WANT DUIs. It’s a revenue source that they need. Don’t believe for a minute that they or MADD would like to eliminate DUI and related arrests.

BINGO!!!

Now the real truth comes out. It's a big scheme where many cases are pleaded down so towns and villages get to share the TAKE!

All DUI and the .08 laws did was make more citizens criminals and generate additional revenue for state and local governments!
