DUI's? EXTORTION, PERSECUTION, or PROHIBITIONIST ?
Justice for all? IF you have a speeding ticket, running a stop light/sign, failure to yield, or whatever, does it follow you the rest of your life?
ALL of these can and do result in death/injury and propery damage.
BUT, they do NOT follow you the rest of your life!
IF you get a DUI, no accident, no person injured, no property damage, no NOTHING. IT follows you the rest of your life. IT's a TICKET!
But it is NOT justice for all.
IT follows you and persecutes the innocent, NOT you, but your children!
HOW can any "TICKET" or "TICKET giver" determine that 10 years or 20 years later you are irresponsible? HOW can any court "PREDICT" that years down the line YOU can not function, that you, (because of a ticket) are not to be trusted? DOE'S a speeding ticket follow you for the rest of your life? EVEN if you injured a person/property?
WHERE is the JUSTICE for all?
Where is the justice when some drunk @sshole runs a red light killing half of a family at Christmas? He had plenty of tickets and license suspensions (in the 100's) and he was still driving so apparently it didn't follow him much until he killed three people the weekend before Christmas. Now that is something that has followed the surviving family members for the rest of their lives. That is why there are tickets for running red lights, which you should be able to get the points back after some time has passed, and for driving drunk, which can sometimes be erased by attending AA meetings or driver's education courses in some areas. So for most people I don't believe it does follow them for life.
To expand on your thinking Tex, then anyone drunk or sober that gets a ticket should ride the bus and be called trash. They still kill, maim and hurt the innocent.
Anyone in any state that has ever had a DUI, is registered for life on the violent offenders list. They can not teach their own children, at homeschool to drive. EVEN 15 years later without any other tickets, accidents or anything on their record. IF this is justice for all. THEN all that ever had any kind of moving violation should also be put on the same list. I'm NOT talking about anyone that injures a person or their property, but that just gets a ticket.
If you drink while you drive, you deserve to ride a bike for the rest of your life.
I personally think the seatbelt issue should be of personal choice, not a matter for liberal idiots to tax and screw...

Well I'm not in favour of DUI I think that penalties on it should be way higher, atleast here in Belgium, even including giving up your driving license for like 30 years. But it aint just DUI, Also SPEEDING should get a lot heavier Penalties like losing your license. The problem with both is that, atleast in belgium they together make up 90% of the causes of accidents with casualties and that you can't say nothing happened this time, so we won't give you a ticket. Because extesive studies have shown that people being ticketed for that kind of felony once, will probably commit it again, and the next time it can end up way worse.

Draconian drink driving laws are a direct result of a huge problem that society demands is solved. I am glad they are so tough- at least it might make some people think twice, if their life could be affected for so long by it.
