Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

That's is not their job. That is a judges job. Their job is to protect. They did that. They stopped the person and got them off the road. Are they still a danger? Then they must be locked up for the night. But generally in the vast vast majority of time they are not a threat. They should get sent home and not waste resources to sober up. A judge later will punish them. A night in jail is not punishment.

That is their job.

Just to be clear, you want cops to stop them and send them on their way with a court date, right? Do you not see the problem with that?

Speeding leads to the majority of accidents and kills lots of people. As does distracted driving like being on your cell phone. Why is it different to recklessly drive and endanger people.

Texting also should be much harsher, to compare someone driving 80 in a 70 to a drunk driver intellectually dishonest, but you know that. I also am not a fan of the .05 law here in Utah either. As that punishes a ton of non drunks. I'd almost rather have it just be no drinking at all or get an Uber.

You're missing the point.

If someone got drunk and grabbed a gun and started shooting everywhere and luckily missed everyone, to me, the end possibilities are the same. **** them and thank god no one was killed.

Is it wrong of me to think **** anyone who drives drunk - super **** those who pass out behind the wheel?

Do you know anyone who's died from drunk driving by chance? I do.

I went to high school with a couple of people who were killed before graduating.

When you take the car, the metaphorical gun has already been taken away. What's the point in the police risking further harm to themselves or the perpetrator than necessary?

It's not. Keep the ****ers off the street. You're arguing to let them go until their court date. I'm saying it's dangerous.

Describe the problem with that, that is not also a problem with the perpetrator spending the night in jail.

Take the gun away from those who shoot lethal guns and miss at the innocent. No one died. Problem solved.

So, you are arguing that all drunk drivers should be kept in jail until their court date, and no bail should be allowed?
