Stir the pot troll. How about asking me directly what part you don't understand of this event that took place 15 years ago?
I drink a lot, I don't drink and drive.
I am just explaining the laws and why they aren't effective.
We aren't going after the people that stumble around, we are going after those that can pay the fines.
That said, some people should be off the road. You get 3+ DUI's in your life and can't prove you are targeted then you are a problem. (I have known cops to do this to exes by having their buddies arrest them).
I did my field side tests great (and most look drunk even when they are not), I was placed between traffic as well, and many more issues.
Like I have said, I admit in my past I was too drunk to get home, but I was young and I never even damaged any property. My arrest was utter bullshit and over a girl and her cop friend.
I am admitting I drank too much in my past, not saying I never did.
Again there is nothing I gain from proving this wrong or right, it's set in stone.
I feel totally bad for kids dying and anyone else killed by a drunk driver.
I don't think people know that 1.2 MILLION people are arrested and charged with DUI each year and only about 15,000 died and that includes those that killed themselves only.
There are only slightly more murders here. Everyone claims to know someone that died from DUI personally, but no one can really name those that got murdered.
Out of murders, every victim was not the guy behind the gun.
Again, hate the kids died. However; those professing DUI is the anti-christ need to figure it out.
In my DUI class, we had kids (18-21) that blew nothing but were in a car with an open container because they wanted to get a lighter. We had people living in there car and got some booze donated to them that got arrested and their car had no gas in it, it was their house.
Some of this ruined people's lives that would have never hurt anyone.
It's all about the money. Down here it's $5k a pop and the arrests are mostly middle class and above.
Meanwhile, fall down drunk everyday "BOB" is going out and hitting shit everyday until he kills someone.
I am trying to bring AWARENESS not compassion or sympathy to this.
I did my time and paid my fines, in court I never brought my defense up. I wasn't fighting that battle. I pled "Not Guilty" after the judge questioned me after asking to approach her bench at some length because she was suspicious too.
We have mandatory minimums and she was not in agreement with them.
She told me I need to find better women to live with.
I was really upset in that court room. I was literally crying because at the time I thought DUI was the worst thing known to man and I didn't do that in that.
One of my best friends (like at my house everyday) died because the guy he got into a car with leaving a party where we all hung out because the police were chasing everyone with cars ditched his car in a canal and tried to run on foot. The police asked if anyone was in his car and he said "NO". My friend could have been saved. I died trying to remove his seat belt and open his door.
That dude served jail time like he should have. I didn't mention this story in court. I did admit to that judge I have drank too much in the past. She said that past is not this case.
People saying I am not honest are truly idiots.
