The Insanity Of DUI Laws

As we all know there are those annoying traffic laws out there. Run a stop sign or red light, or make a u-turn when you weren't supposed to and you get a ticket for $100 or so. Yes I know we need these laws to keep everything in order on our streets. But what if you did this after 2 beers? Did you know that now you may lose $10,000 instead of $100? You may also lose your license for 1, 5, or 10 years and go to jail. Sound crazy? Well it is, and it is happening on the streets you drive each day. The dui precedent of 0.08 is about 2-3 beers in the average adult. Do you feel drunk after a couple? I don't feel anything and I know that my driving isn't impaired. But somehow the law feels they have the right to throw you in jail, load you up with fines, lawyer fees, treatment, and jail time. I don't know about you, but I thought we live in a free country, with laws that make sense. I guess me and the other millions of Americans who have been robbed by our legal system were wrong. If anyone would like to explain the other side, feel free to do so.

Why are DUI Laws So Strict?

You might think that DUI laws are strict because of the dangerous accidents that have occurred while someone driving was intoxicated. Makes sense. But what about all the fatal accidents that occur from sober drivers? What about drivers who are talking on their cell phones, or are listening to loud music or driving out of control because of road rage. Why aren't they treated the same as a DUI driver. We already know that more fatal accidents occur from sober than drunk drivers. So why aren't we banning sober driving? Well, that may be a stretch, but seriously why do we have such crazy laws that make no sense.

Well, the answer is of course the almighty dollar. That's right, politicans and activist just found a way to steal money, and there taking it as far as they can until people start standing up against it.

Intro

Welcome to my blog. Have you or anyone you know been the victim of a dui? Ever lost $10,000 + because you had a couple of beers after work, and were then pulled over for a minor traffic violation? Even though you weren't drunk, you are then taken away in a police car and thrown in jail? Sound familiar? What a scam our legal system is pulling on our already struggling middle class. Forget about the mortage, credit crisis affecting hard working Americans. The bigger and more frightening problem is on the streets you drive each day. Please post your experiences and maybe together we can get some answers as to why we are being robbed.
