I just want to know, How come they spend more time and money putting DUI photos in papers than they do with sexual predators. Sexual preditors torture their victims before they kill them, however their identity isn’t shown as easily as the people who have been charged with DUI. Sexual Preditors dont have the option to stop preying on victims. We, on the other hand have a choice to not drive drunk. So who should really be the ones posted on the Wall of shame?!!!!!

The only way to get drunks to quit driving is vehicle forfeiture. If I stood on an overpass and fired random shots into traffic my weapon would be seized. If I drive drunk I get my car back. I would say 30 days for first offense, 90 for a second and total forfeiture for any other offense. It wouldn’t matter whose car it was. If you were foolish enough to loan your car to a known drunk driver then you are an enabler ================================================ California DUI

My husband was recently arrested for a DWI. I ve find his actions disgusting, and selfish. I never imagined myself married to a type of man who could get behind the wheel of a car drunk. He says this was a wake up call and would never touch alchohol again. I believe him. It was all very hard to digest. But when I saw my husbands picture on hall of shame I went to my Doctor because I am pregnant and the stress is too much on my fetus. You can bet it was the shame of my husband’s face being published. Why should I and my unborn fetus be punished because of some publicity hungry politician like Souzzi. If I have a miscarraige I will personally blame Souzzi as well as my husband for the death of my child and the humilitian I recieved.

I believe that this would be a good thing. create state wide registries of people convicted of drunk driving. That way bar tenders could look up some of the last-callers and see if they have a history of DUI, and call them a cab before they leave, or better to allow transportation companies to do a quick look up and see if one of the employees had a DUI AFTER they were hired on. Look what it has done for the Sex Offender registries.

The assignment to a registry would not be a punitive damage, it would be for public awareness, thus getting by the cruel and unusual, and expost facto issues. a DUI registry would be the best thing to do to these people seeing that some if not all have killed or will kill at some point when they get behind the wheel drunk.

I personally know a young man who was arrested for DUI and driving w/o a license. He was apprehended when he drove a car into a tree.

He paid the fine, attended the mandatory classes, and has changed his life. He no longer drinks to excess. For him, it was a wake-up call.

There has to be a reasonable solution, short of permanently banning those convicted from ever driving again (I should say, from getting a license – many of those convicted just drive without a license). Although some will repeat, others will not.

Driving while talking on cell phone is as bad as driving at .08. Where is Mothers against group for that? Also – there is no discretion here. Why is a person who coasts through a stop sign at 2am on the way home – and pulled over for a failure to come to a complete stop – treated the same as someone who runs a redlight while drunk at noon. This rule is excessively punative to drivers who are little threat to society. I think if you are drunk in the daytime and pulled over – you should really have the book thrown at you. But cut the working stiffs of the world a little slack – and let them drive home after 3 beers. Get real …

I’m going to join “DAMM”: Drunks Against MADD Mothers.

If they’re going to pull the idiotic crap of posting pics of DUI offenders, they ought to include Ted Kennedy’s fat face, along with his son Patrick’s. What a joke.
