it should be a felony, at least in the first case where no injuries occur.
Why do some think it should be? Because of the potential for danger and death? That's a very good reason, but we used to be a nation of laws that punished punitively for actual crimes, not possiblilities.
Pre-emptive DUI. Let's just hand one out to everybody. It has become a HUGE moneymaker for every county in this nation, and it doesn't solve the problem.
People get sentenced to short jail terms (if at all) and pay out the ass.
Then, they get to ride a bicycle to work for a long while. If they still have their job.
No. I don't ride a bicycle to work, and don't have any charges to deal with, but I do understand the frustration of those who do.
DUI laws are excessively punitive, and minimally rehabilitative.
One of these days, we'll be asking who doesn't have a DUI. That's how popular they are to the counties looking for revenue.
