Comments on: The Slow Death of the Fourth Amendment http://www.duiblog.com/2008/08/12/the-slow-death-of-the-fourth-amendment/ Bad Drunk Driving Laws, False Evidence and a Fading Constitution Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:45:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: lynzww http://www.duiblog.com/2008/08/12/the-slow-death-of-the-fourth-amendment/comment-page-1/#comment-1541 lynzww Tue, 19 Aug 2008 05:27:31 +0000 http://www.duiblog.com/?p=748#comment-1541 Please help. I am new to the site, and not sure how it works. I have a friend that was sentenced to a 25 year sentence for aggravated DUI. She plead guilty in open court. She had no prior felonies and only one previous DUI. We are trying to save money for post conviction relief, but in Mississippi there is less than a 1 in 10 chance for sentence reduction.

It is not going to get better, it will only get worse. We are well on our way to becoming a Socialistic Police State. What is amazing to me is most Americans cheer this nonsense.

However, you're right in asserting that rights are slowly eroded over time, never taken away all at once.

Driver licensing and regulation is one big racket that government uses to collect millions of monetized accounting unit dollars annually. If there was no money involved, you wouldn't see any of these prior restraint and preemptive strikes on liberty occurring at all. It's all about power being kept in the hands of a group of organized liars, killers and thieves called government. Government has no duty to protect anyone and their property, yet the public still wants to believe the lie that government does have a duty to protect. Read Bowers v. Devito, 686 F.2d 616.

I am joking of course. This reminds me of fixing a problem by controlling the symptom rather than the cause, and what happens? It never gets fixed. One can apply the same logic to DUI. Arresting mass amounts of people for DUI doesn't get to the cause of DUI, it just tries to control the end result or symptom. The same logic applies to to the oldest profession in the world, prostitution, and how is that working out? DUI should not be illegal, but if you do cause any damages or death, you will be held liable in court for any damages, up to and including murder. Of course states would lose their revenue, but the guilty parties would be held to justice as necessary. In 2006 there were over 1.4 million violent assaults, 17,000 murders, and 92,000 rapes, and these were the reported ones. I implore people to see things for what they are and put things into perspective. I would like to see this in Chicago, NYC, LA, in fact every large city in the USA. I am joking of course.
