That's putting it mildly.
Fresno hired 80 more traffic cops and pays for them mostly through vehicle impounds.
In other words, "violators are paying for their own enforcement," says Dyer.

Well that's all fine and dandy, but...
Maybe what annoys me is the level of alcohol which is considered the limit you can have. Come on. 0.08???? That's not much at all. Rediculous as far as I'm concerned. That's like a couple of mild beers isn't it?
I bet 90 percent of people who drink alcohol have been on the road illegally hundreds of times. So what's my point? Well I guess my main point is that if they did their job perfectly in giving DUI's to everybody that would fail a thorough test, then you'd remove 1/2 of the people on the road like all the people who drive for a living and on and on and on. I'd venture to guess that the welfare of our economy would be effected very negatively.
We'd have to shut down our business because we wouldn't be able to find qualified workers since they need to drive while working.
Hmm, so much for going out on the town on the weekend for some entertainment. There wouldn't be any entertainment because there wouldn't be any customers and then the establishments would have to close.  :hmm:
I guess I'll just have to stay home and play more SH3,  since I can't go out and have fun anywhere.  |
i have a big issue with what you said about 0.8 being not much, just a couple of mild beers. Tell that to my cousin. Oh you can't he's dead due to a drunk driver.
.08 in absolute terms might not be much but what is not much for you might be a lot for someone else.
They should just make it a straight 0, you don't drink and drive full stop.
I must be in the 10% though as I have never had a drink and then drove. Your making a fair few assumptions and that you seem to think it is ok to have a couple of drinks and then drive.
