They all should be arrested then we will all get a taste of jail and the law system. Its easy to pass judgement on others but we all have been guilty of putting others at risk. I had someone try to run me off the road because he didn't want to be the next in line when the road merged. A drunk would have probably let me in.

My dad was an alcoholic. I do not have a drinking problem nor does any of my sisters or brothers. As far as MAD goes, anyone who has been subject to a DUI causing them to be unable to provide for their family and causing a monetary hardship should be able to sue both MAD and the government for supporting laws that violate their constitutional rights and ability to provide for themselves and families.

His bac was under .08 but over .02. He was driving because his friend WAS IMPAIRED and he took his keys and was attempting to drive him home. He was treated like a criminal and an alcoholic. He was not impaired in any way! It was 6 months of "treatment" and even 30 days of wearing a scram unit. That is another money-making device that is being pushed on the public. I know he learned a lesson from all this, but the punishment really exceeded the crime. Furthermore, this supposedly stays on his record forever, even though a first offense, and could impact his future career choices, jobs, etc. Should someone pay for the rest of their life for a mistake?

Couldn’t agree with you more.
Knowing little of law. Prior to a five-year incarceration, 1998. I began reading in prison.
Less than ten minutes under Virginia Code revealed a precedent exonerating me from each DUI (with witnesses).
An appellate attorney ignored the trial court record. Where at least five clear violations of U.S. Constitution, were undeniable.
Post conviction counsel required by so-called state and federal laws. Also denied without reason.
Trudging through federal courts, alone. I was illegaly released from prison early; 2003. In emergency fashion. One week after informing the 4th Cir. Court, of U.S. District Court actions.
Still, under illegal post release supervision. Which cost me my only son’s final 75 days. Losing his entire 18th – 21st years falsely imprisoned, apparently wasn’t good enough. His last days were lost while I was held in Virginia. He, residing out-of-state. Thank God I managed being with him. For his last  3  minutes of coherent conciousness.  Michael died of internal injuries sustained in a 25mph cycle accident.
U.S. Supreme Court Clerks continued cover-up for over 3 years.
Five DUI’s, over 14 years, all below the previously legal limit. All, based upon the first conviction. Despite USSC rulings.
In 1984, Prince William County Police officer W.A. O’Brien admitted: “He’s been a perfect gentleman and performed his field tests perfectly but blew a .11 [BAC]”. This, an undetermined “issue of ultimate fact” (quoting U.S. Supreme Court). Denied again, January 2005, Va. Ct. Appl., from the Circuit Court were it occured.

Again, thanks for your honesty.
   I, R.R. Linamen, declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 21st day of October, 2006. s/ R. R. Linamen
