That’s right always quote from the self appointed national motorist association. President has a calling don’t ya know.
ANYONE who tries to justify their drinking and then driving is kidding themselves and their eventual victims
Why do enforcement authorities, prosecutors, and judges target and punish even low-BAC drivers so aggressively when statistics clearly show that virtually all real drunk driving accidents, injuries, and fatalities are caused by drivers testing at .14 and above? Because NHTSA, MADD, and politicians (believing the "41%" lie) relentlessly pressure and incentivize them (with federal grants) to increase their numbers of arrests and convictions...increasingly difficult in recent years since fewer and fewer Americans these days of us are foolish enough to actually drive drunk.
Why do officers too often (illegally) stop people late at night for no reason, "fishing" for impaired drivers, sometimes lying to falsify reports and create DUI busts despite no physical evidence of impairment? Because they too, are pressured, judged by ticket quotas, and motivated by the promise of overtime pay for time spent in court.
The unfortunate truth is that DUI enforcement has degenerated into a dollar-driven system created by well-intentioned but uninformed people who are pressured by truth-twisting zealots and supported by a popular media too lazy to check the facts or question their propaganda. "DUIs are BIG BUSINESS," says RIDL founder Jeanne Pruett. "Lowering the BAC limit does nothing to save lives but increases the potential income pool for police, courts, lawyers, and insurance companies which substantially increase rates for DUI offenders."
