DWI Laws

""If this country or state was serious about getting drunk drivers off the road, then there would be zero-tolerance for having any alcohol in your system when driving. Instead, it's an arbitrary BAC percent that decides whether one is ok to drive. The system as it is does not teach anyone not to drink and drive, it just teaches them not to get caught, and fleeces them heavily if they do.""

 

 

I agree with this... DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE... innocent people may be harmed, paralyized, brain damaged, or killed.

 

Innocent people may be harmed, paralyzed, brain damaged or killed by a gun....so why do we allow them?

Some people say it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to use federal highway funds as a tool to force individual state to pass laws involving DWI.

 

For example a some states still had age 18 as the legal drinking age. The DWI pleaded their case to President Regan and he agreed that any state that did not raise the minimum drinking age to 21 within a short time frame would lose their federal highway funds. So now because of some arm twisting all 50 states have the minimum drinking age at 21.

 

Also when you fail the breathalizer test or refuse to take a breathalizer test some states will sieze your drivers license on the spot. This is UNCONSTITUTIONAL because the state is seizing your personal property (Drivers Licensce) before a trial thus depriving you of due process.

 

Also states like NY impose an age limit on those people seeking employment as policemen and firemen. I think you must be 28 or younger - this is blatant age discrimination and is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

 

However the reason these UNCONSTITUTIONAL actions can take place is because they argue it's done in the name of PUBLIC SAFETY!! For example you can not yell FIRE in a crowded movie theater. The Supreme Court has ruled in different instances that to protect PUBLIC SAFETY these kind of actions are permitted.

 

As a side note: States used to get additional Federal Highway money as a reward for having laws mandating that motorcycle riders must wear crash helments. To save money Bush did away with this incentive and the Governor of Pennsylvannia got mad and decided no incentive no law requiring helments for motorcyclists in PA.

Not a problem...take away the license, lose the job, become another number in the welfare system, let some one else pay my bills (hell, don't need to pay for the car anymore) so everyone can be much safer from the "possibility" that something could go wrong. Someday the very "safe" people will realize that the world they created by making the ultimate goal of safety isn't anything worth having. Let's bomb Iran! Let's bomb China! There is a possibility....

Are you seriously comparing a gun with a car with a drunk behind the wheel?
