Re: DUI Check point.
Sorry to have offended Bubba and SBN. <br /><br />To your comment of Iran......fantastic point. Considering all the repeat DUI convicts, I point to penalties that can be very lenient.<br /><br />IMO, the purpose of law that imposes penalties is to deter folks from violating. Make a DUI penalty have real teeth. Sure, some will not care, but, believe me most will. I did. Yep, I have a past DUI. No property damage, or otherwise. Just a cop doing his job by being observant.<br /><br />And I further give heavy weight to future penalties for a repeat. And I will further say that penalties, even first offense, should be stiffer.<br /><br />Consider the Wisconsin AG who was arrested this year, first offense DUI, top cop in the State. She skated by paying a fine, still has her job.<br /><br />Closing, stop the Gestapo checkpoint tactics, lobby for severe penalties, use your cell if ya see obvious erratic driving. Never know, may be a driver not DUI, but having other medical related issues affecting driving ability, such as diabetic reaction and so on. <br /><br />Peace Out
