		<description>I have been recently a victim of dui and figured it would never happen to me. But always woeeied about it scared to take a girlfriend out for dinner and drink some wine socially. It seems like food and bevarage lobby. Does not seem to counter madd. Since they are lossing much money for persons, adults whom may go out for dinner  say onnce a week have forced many  resterants. To close completely. Or cut down here hours. It has effected jobs and the economy in genreal. I was stooped and when my attorney questioned  police iffice use that term loosley more like inforcing a police state. I do not believe in drunk driving but I have been  tired and was worse than having say a coupl of glasses of wine at dinner with my girlfriend. I am divorced and women enjoy to be wined and dined. And it has effected all of Niagara Couty in New York state. For it is not productive for when cutoimers leave very early. For fear of getting dui. That is my problem. Madd gets all polticians on there side why does not food and beverage bring out the  falsoods of madd and there exagerated dui laws. For when police were questioned was I speeding or driving eratic they said no. It was just routine late nigth check. And used ecuse could not read my licence plates for reason of stop. So if media does not educate madds goals. Even elderly persons whom may go out for dinner or a wdding ect. Do not understand they could be victims of madd laws. It seems they are always orrect and di not use common sence. You say dwi laws fading by false evidence and fading constution. It seems in last 20 years or so not only on this matter and other matters constution they have no respect for. For there goal is to raise money for mucipalties and insurance companys. It seemsall I have made a survey of  say soon if you just look at  alcolic beverage you will be in trouble. People are scared to have more than 1 drink. Some will not even have one drink for fear of dui. Until madds laws are challenged by there  false evidents and police at one time were not so intent on giving person ticket for driving while alcohol on there breath but not speeding or breaking any laws. But now it seems they do not care about destoying a good citizens privacy even if driving carefully,for after 11 p.m. it seems thats all they want is that dui conviction. Till people learn it could happen to you. But most persons do drink say at wedding and holdays and socail events. Figure they are safe till it happens to them. I have only one answer to this  that persons should not be convicted by a machine but by judgement of fair and unbiased police officer. To end this iver the years any person will build a immuinty to any drug. So if a person has never had a drink 2 or 3 drinks he or she will be intoxicated for they never drank. But a fortie year old peron or older have built immunity to alohol as a drug. Just like example coffee or any sunstance. Until people are willing and  a lobby to counter madd for socail drinkers whom are responsible. Madd will always win. For they have finacial resources with insurace companies just looking for higher profits. A disgusted usa citizen and there are many but are silent majority are commited to stooping madd from geeting there lives ruined for taking a wife out for dinner our a wedding we are doomed to loose more constutional rigths. Its a pity are nation has turned to becoming a  begining of a police state. It starts with one thing soon other laws are added. I have no solution for problem. For most persons can not afford a high cost for attorney. And most persons even with a good attorney always loose. So they pick up quick money but no justice. I was not going to make this long. But unless persons are educated and willing to get bac up to a reasinable rate of .10 not zero .08 as Clintoin signed and black mailed all states if you do not support this .08 no fedreal higway funds. I do not see how we can be given fair treatment. A concerned citizen.</description>

		<description>Police Driving Intoxicated People Home and Preventing DUI
Palm Beach and South Palm Beach Police have developed a novel idea to prevent DUI arrests:  they provide a ride for residents and guests before they get into the car.  As attorney George Creal of DUI Webblog recently reported, the Palm Beach and South Palm Beach police promote the novel idea of helping people first.  

This novel idea apparently works. Last year, Palm Beach police made 39 DUI arrests. This year, they have made 25 DUI arrests. South Palm Beach Police reported only seven DUI arrests this year and four in 2005. Compare this with 23,864 alcohol-related crashes reported throughout the state in 2005 and 1,239 fatalities and you will see that these police departments have found a way to minimize DUI&#039;s, and the resulting tragic consequences.  

Apparently, Police will drive residents directly to their homes. Palm Beach police will assist guests who live outside the community by helping them make other arrangements, such as contacting family members or local taxi companies.

However, the Palm Beach police quickly pointed out that they will arrest anyone found driving under the influence, and give them a ride to jail.

Perhaps Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) would find this novel approach to reducing drunk driving encouraging, and petition more law enforcement agencies to adopt this prevention strategy.

		<description>[...] The primary goal is Prohibition. Checkpoints have little to do with public safety. They are fishing expiditions for drugs and DWI. I would rather be free from unreasonable search and seizure than to have the false security of a checkpoint.  Vehicles are stopped in a specific sequence, such as every other vehicle or every fourth, fifth or sixth vehicle. Currently, there are 10 states that do not allow checkpoints and MADD aims to advocate for change in these states.  Probable cause is such an outdated idea. Freedom and liberty just get in the way of good public safety measures like chekpoints. I guess stopping every 4th or 5th car makes it ok? Why not just raid every fourth or fifth house and look for drugs? Or arrest every fourth or fifth citizen and look for terrorists?  So, this Labor Day, have fun but remember to designate a sober driver or one will be designated for you by law enforcement officers hitting the streets in search of drunk drivers. [...]</description>
