nope, you have just been poisoned by the propaganda.
how you got somewhere matter sure, but the end result is also important.
a lady in my state ran down two motorcyclist sitting at a red light and killed one, maimed the other.
if it was a DUI, she goes to jail, but she was putting on makeup, so she got a fucking traffic ticket
how is that right? because that shit is what I am preaching against.
take off the blinders, turn off the MADD/SADD commercials, and look around. There much greater injustices around to mess with beyond DUI law which is already way hasher than many comparible crimes.
IF my thinking this way is 'wrong', then our country and you are more fucked up than I thought.
I agree completely with you and others that people are retarded. They just buy into everything that the media and people now spout about DUI and can't think for themselves.
The problem lies in the fact that you can't prove and enforce driving while doing all of the other things that you talked about in your last post, where as you can enforce DUI because you can test for it after the fact.
There will often times be no proof after the accident of you putting on makeup, texting, facebook posting, reading a magazine. etc
Its a shame.
You can't even really be tested for ANY other drug, so you could be all coked up and possibly never get busted for it unless they arrest you and take you in for further testing.
Or, everyone wants marijuana to be legal but then cops could take advantage of several more situations. For example, you are speeding 5 miles over and the cop decides you are stoned. You're not stoned, not at all - you haven't smoked since you got home from work the night before - but the only kind of testing they can do will say that its in your system or its not. It might have been a week since you smoked, doesn't matter - its in your system, DUI.
