Hawaii Lawmaker Sharon Har, Who Railed Against Drunk Driving, Busted for Alleged DUI
New York Post ^ | March 4, 2021 | Lee Brown

A Hawaii lawmaker who implemented tough drunk-driving penalties in her state has been arrested — for allegedly driving under the influence.

Democratic state Rep. Sharon Har, 52, started pushing for the tough changes to DUI laws in 2008 after surviving a crash the previous year when a drunk driver slammed into her, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser said.

But the mother of twin 3-year-old daughters was herself arrested in Honolulu last month after she was pulled over in her 2019 Mercedes while facing the wrong direction on a one-way street, the outlet said, citing police reports. “I’m embarrassed, I didn’t know,” Har — who also works for a private law firm — told the officer who first spoke to her, as caught in newly released video footage of the late-night bust from Feb. 22.

I think a person like this that Violates the Very Law she herself authored, should be Sentenced to the Maximum Possible Sentence available, times 3

This is stupid.

Drunk driving is bad - very bad. You could be the biggest drunk in the world, and drive drunk every night - and if you denounced drunk driving you would still be right.

Using human foibles or even sins as a defense for doing wrong is a big problem.

Nothing worse than a female democrat politician who wants to be the mom of her subjects.

F Libby Dole and the MADD mothers as well for taking the right to imbibe from young adults.

“I’m embarrassed, I didn’t know,” Har told the officer who first spoke to her,


"You didn't know drunk driving was illegal?"
