Comments on: Feds Crack Down on DUI…and Cover Up DWT http://www.duiblog.com/2009/07/27/feds-crack-down-on-duiand-cover-up-dwt/ Bad Drunk Driving Laws, False Evidence and a Fading Constitution Sun, 19 May 2013 02:26:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: damien_karras http://www.duiblog.com/2009/07/27/feds-crack-down-on-duiand-cover-up-dwt/comment-page-1/#comment-8986 damien_karras Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:51:39 +0000 http://www.duiblog.com/?p=1725#comment-8986 Ok, these blogs are great information but to what purpose? Is anybody actually willing to change the current system which is an abysmal failure? Has anyone wrote their state representatives? Has anyone signed any petitions? Are there any documentaries being made to expose the flaws and hypocrisies in this system? In N.J. there are currently 54 bills on the table for 2008-2009 that directly relate to current DWI law in the state. None of them addresses the real problem when it comes to helping the alcoholic. All the laws are more punitive in nature. I fear that with all these blogs and responses like: "Yes, you're right! Something must be done!", that nothing WILL get done out of sheer apathy. DUI is the only crime I can think of where you are presumed guilty of what MIGHT have happened. If there is a death involved or property damage, then yes, these people should be imprisoned. But otherwise, most states are woefully out of touch with the REAL underlying problem of the chronic alcoholic. Ok, these blogs are great information but to what purpose?

Anything that distracts from their agenda of prohibition and profit should be and was covered up by those ex-MADD members now sitting in chairs at the NHTSA. People should not forget to connect those dots. And please, let’s remember how entrenched the MADD organization is in the NHTSA.
