I have been doing some research.
I know that you have heard about people being convicted multiple times of drunk driving. Do you know that 17,000 people are killed and 500,000 people are injured. every year by drunk drivers.
The only time these drivers go to jail is when they kill someone.
If they are convicted, of simply injuring someone, all that happens is their license is suspended. So next time they drink and drive, they do it without a license.
If caught, they get a conviction of driving without a license, and dwi, then released.
As a former EMT, I would get very irritated when running a drunk driving accidents, and the drunk driver would be out walking around, and I would have to treat innocent people, even kids that this driver struck. The police would do their sobriety tests, and arrest them for dwi/dui Then a few weeks later, the same incident, with the same person.
Can someone explain to me why, a person has to be killed to put theses people in jail?
.
I know the prisons, and jails are overcrowded. But there has to be a solution to this problem.
Any comments ideas welcome.
Any law enforcement, lawyers, and judge’s etrc. that can explain why people can be convicted over, and over of DWI,dui etc. and put back on the road?
Please feel free to e-mail me.
I am not really looking for an "answer". I want to know what others think. I would love a judge, lawyer etc. explain this.
I posted this in the law section.
Buy I only got 4 answers.
hopeing for more opinions.
