13. Eh, I'm also against seat-belt laws and drug criminalization...

Edited on Thu Mar-23-06 12:01 PM by SteppingRazor

Now, mind you, I'm not saying DUI shouldn't be a crime. But there are huge problems with the law as it stands. It has allowed the cops to shoot massive holes in the fourth amendment. It has that absurd .08 BAC attached to it (That's two beers in a freaking hour for an average man -- hardly impaired), and some states are even talking about going lower. In Wisconsin a few years back, MADD was pushing a law that would lower it to .02, until experts pointed out that you would be legally drunk after having cough syrup.

I'm not against DUI laws. But DUI laws as they now stand are draconian and counter-productive
