Something needs to be done on the DUI laws. They should have a misdemeanor DUI charge where if you are over the limit but seem fit to drive you get a different type of fine and discipline.
Just recently in my area some dude was driving and started to go into road rage and busted through 3 red lights and hit three different cars. In one of the cars that he hit was a young little girl who was considered to be in serious condition. The cops however couldn't arrest the driver because he wasn't under the influence of any alcohol. They didn't even write the guy a ticket for reckless driving because if the girl should die they have to let the DA handle it. If she doesn't die only thing that will happen to him is his insurance company will raise his premium.
So let me get this straight if your brain is chemical free and you decide to go bumper cars on the streets you get to walk away but if you are shit faced out of your mind and don't know what you are doing and if you get behind the wheel it is a straight up felony. It just doesn't seem right to me.
