PS: If being against drunk driving makes me a MADD cheerleader or whatever else you want to call it, then so be it.
You're so f-ing ignorant. You still believe MADD is about DRUNK drivers. People who have one drink are being arrested for DUI and MADD couldn't be happier because they MAKE MONEY off of DUIs. They have NO desire to prevent DUIs. Their only interested is punishing. Your ignorance is just a pawn in their game.
Granted, some DUI statistics are skewed due to improper recording procedures, but that does not excuse the fact that (really) drunk people still drive, and when they do, they cause a lot more than their proportionate share of accidents.
They are skewed because they count accidents "alcohol-related" when all drivers involved were sober. Sober driver with drunk passengers = "alcohol-related". The NHTSA has admited their reports are misleading. The proof is available but you don't want the truth.
Over 1.5 million people get arrested for DUI each year. Out of those 1.5 million people less than a quarter of a percent are involved in any type of accident. So how exactly do you figure it to be "proportinate"?
Why you and the other drunks here are never going to get anywhere with your DUI "reform" is simple - you continue to act as if getting drunk and driving away wasn't an intentional, conscious act. People choose to drive drunk. No one forces them.
Point out exactly where I said a DRUNK drivers shouldn't be punished? The "reform" isn't about letting people drive DRUNK. But your inability to comprehend that is what makes you continue to make sh!t up.
So whining that the penalties are too stiff, whopp-di-freaking-doo. Want an easy and free way to avoid them? Don't drink and drive. Damn simple.
You're too stupid to understand people are being arrested after drinking ZERO alcohol or ZERO drugs. There has been three cases posted in this very forum within the past nine months, but you conveniently ignored those. You don't know crap about the current state of DUI laws. You don't know crap about faulty methods used to convict people of the crime. You don't understand that getting arrested for DUI doesn't have to involve alcohol or drugs. Get falsely accused and arrested for DUI, spend several hours in jail, then several thousand dollars to hire a lawyer, then come back and tell us all how great the current state of DUI laws are. Until then, try spending more time educating yourself and less time accusing people of being a drunk.
