dui reform

This blog is dedicated to all those innocent DUI recipients who think they've been unfairly treated by the law in a hypocrital society...
Goals of this blog, among others, are:
1)  to promote awareness that DUI arrests/convictions, under the guise of public safety, are primarily a cash cow for many different entities, such as courts and attorneys, and serve as a major source of revenue for city, county, and state governments, without which, these economies would be more sorely off...
2)  to promote reform of the penalty structure of DUI law as well as the DUI Task Force and other questionable behaviors of the police in regards to securing DUI arrests...
3)  to promote public transportation and other forms of protection that can reduce legal access to private assets...
4)  to promote the idea that breathalyzer/interlock systems should be installed in all vehicles, further reducing legal access to private assets...
5)  to promote the idea of organizing a group of concerned citizens who would lobby for the above and related goals... 
6) to promote the free exchange of ideas related to this topic...

  1. MADD also needs to be lobbied against...I'm very sorry for those families who have lost loved ones in DUI-related accidents, but seeking vengeance by excessively punishing innocent recipients of DUI's is not he answer...Most DUI recipients have not harmed others but often fall victim to predatory police under extenuating circumstances, and then their lives are adversely affected for years to come--for what?

  2. Members of the DUI task force will infiltrate restaurants and bars undercover--sometimes with the blessing of the owner/manager--and either follow drinkers who are leaving or alert their cohorts outside who will then devise some kind of probable cause to pull them over...

  3. Although I haven't actually researched it, one of my DUI school teachers said that during probation, one cannot drink anything at anytime while on probation--even if you aren't driving, even if you're at home--can somebody shed light on whether or not this is actually true or not?

  4. I have emailed MADD in Sacramento several times, inquiring as to whether they lobby to require vehicle manufacturers to install breathalyzer/interlock systems in all vehicles and...they never get back with me...Why? I think it's because they know that restaurants, bars, and the police would complain about lost sources of revenue...And it would expose all the hypocrisy and contradiction in the whole DUI racket...

  5. Police frequently falsify DUI arrest police reports...

  6. A DUI recipient who hurts neither person nor property is guilty of nothing except the questionable probable cause for which she/he was pulled over in the first place, and then their life is adversely affected financially and potentially traumatized for years to come, for what?

  7. When I went to DUI school, I was astounded by the number of DUI recipients (a majority) who just accepted their lot without questioning the probable cause basis for their being detained in the first place and then rationalizing their punishment as being totaling deserving. This mindset was particularly revealing when one DUI school teacher in particular would routinely ask new students if their receiving a DUI was a "curse or a blessing" and, of course, the right answer was "it was a blessing" because the DUI recipient came away with an important lesson that would inspire them to not drink and drive in the future and possibly kill someone...

  8. Even one of the DUI instructors agreed with me that the whole DUI thing is nothing but a cash cow for all the people that depend on it for easy money--the courts, the attorneys, the insurance companies, the DUI schools, the DMV, etc.
