MADD, another law and order conservative type whined and cried and got the .o8 passed. They created a whole industry of judges, cops, attorneys and prosecutors. What had happened previously was that drunk drivers were not held accountable even when they caused accidents. The solution from MADD was to create a whole industry around DUI. The better response would have been to throw out BAC levels until an accident occurs. Punish a drunk driver who causes an accident with permanent drivers license revocation huge fines and imprisonment for many many years. This approach requires a victim. That’s the point. A victim.

I have had quite enough of the Law and Order conservative.

NAILED IT!!!

Laws should ONLY be Punitative and NEVER preventative, otherwise they punish the Law Abiding!

Same damned way with Seatbelt laws, which in my opinion should be immedately repealed...

Yeah, I used to be one myself but realize it can be a double edged sword so I've gotten more libertarian as I've gotten older and wiser. I can understand the police pulling over someone who is weaving in and out but I stop at checkpoints, seat belt laws and other nanny state stuff.
