Drunk Driver Murders 650,000 Innocent People
www.geocities.com/prohibition_us/contents.html


Texas Gov. George W. Bush acknowledged Thursday that in 1976 he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol near his parents' home in Kennebunkport, Maine. Bush, who was 30 at the time, pleaded guilty, paid a $150 fine and his driving privileges were temporarily suspended in Maine. Late Thursday evening, following a campaign rally in this tightly contested Midwestern state, Bush - with his wife, Laura, at his side - told reporters news accounts of the incident were accurate, that he had been drinking in a bar with Australian tennis pro John Newcombe and others. "I'm not proud of that. I made some mistakes. I occasionally drank too much, and I did that night. I learned my lesson. I told the guy (the arresting officer) I had been drinking, what do I need to do? He said, 'here's the fine.' I paid the fine." Bush said the timing of the initial news report, just days before Americans elect a new president, was "interesting."

"Sheriffs, judges and even advocates fighting drunken driving have all criticized the new Tennessee law that uses shame to punish drunken drivers. A governor's task force recently recommended scrapping the law, which makes offenders pick up litter wearing bright orange vests that say, 'I am a Drunk Driver.' The law requires first-time offenders to spend 24 hours in jail and do 24 hours of litter pickup while wearing the embarrassing orange vest. Robertson County Sheriff Gene Bollinger said the idea of shaming drunken drivers simply doesn't work. 'Most people aren't even embarrassed," said Bollinger, who serves as president of the Tennessee Sheriff's Association. "I see them out there just laughing. They're not taking it seriously.'"
—Beth Rucker, Knoxville News Sentinel, "DUI 'shame' program shamed by task force," November 20, 2006

"Strictly speaking, a driver can register a BAC of 0.00% and still be convicted of a DUI. The level of BAC does not clear a driver when it is below the 'presumed level of intoxication.'"

"One of the major defects in many methods of blood-alcohol analysis is the failure to identify ethanol. None of the breath machine manufacturers warrant these things to actually test blood alcohol."
—Lawrence Taylor, attorney at law, Drunk Driving Defense, 5th Edition (2000)

"Just when you thought the Orwellian Big Brother society couldn't possibly accelerate further, it gets even worse. A move is afoot to force 245 million drivers in America to have alcohol breathalyzers fitted in their vehicles, ignition interlocks that prevent the vehicle from being started by an inebriant. 'The threat of arrest and punishment, for decades the primary tactic against drunken drivers, is no longer working in the struggle to reduce the death toll, officials say, and they are proposing turning to technology — alcohol detection devices in every vehicle — to address the problem,' reports the New York Times."
—Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones, PrisonPlanet.com, "Big Brother To Decide If You Drive," November 20, 2006

In the 1998 Congressional session, 84 Representatives and Senators were stopped for drunken driving and released after they claimed Congressional immunity. It should be noted, however, that there is a big difference between being stopped for "suspicion" of DUI and actually being charged with the offense. More than one police officer, however, told Capitol Hill Blue they are not allowed to charge members of Congress.

"I've stopped Senators who were so drunk they couldn't remember their own name," says one Fairfax County police officer. "And I was ordered to let them drive home."

Sgt. Joe Gentile of the D.C. police admits city police do not issue traffic tickets to senators and representatives while Congress is in session. Alexandria and Montgomery County claim members of Congress receive no special treatment for traffic violations, but records show 47 members were released without tickets last year. Arlington and Prince George's county refuse to reveal their policies, but records show members are rountinely released without charge in both counties.

Members of Congress feel no compulsion to obey the law. District of Columbia police issued 2,912 parking tickets to cars owned by members of Congress in 1998. None were paid. The financially strapped District, which actively pursues and "boots" cars belonging to ordinary citizens, does not go after members of Congress.

But Representatives and Senators are not the only privileged class in Washington. More than 20,000 foreign nationals living and working in National Capital area carry cards issued by the U.S. Department of State that grants them "diplomatic immunity" from arrest and prosecution.

"The son of Blount County Circuit Court Clerk Tom Hatcher has resigned as a magistrate in his father's office in the midst of a TBI investigation, according to a news release issued Saturday. Dustin Hatcher resigned Saturday after allegations were made against him, according to the release issued under Clerk Tom Hatcher's letterhead. Reached Saturday night, Tom Hatcher said he could not comment beyond the release's contents. The statement does not detail the nature of the TBI investigation, which began Friday. "I love my son, and from a family standpoint, we will be there to support him," Hatcher is quoted as saying in the release. "However, as an elected public servant of this community, I will fulfill the duties of my office and will continue to fully cooperate with the TBI regarding this investigation.""

"We have to find ways to clear the courts of the endless stream of 'victimless crimes' that get in the way of serious crimes. There are more important matters for highly skilled judges and prosecutors than minor traffic offenses, loitering and drunkenness."

"Before going to prison I believed that criticism of the criminal justice system for its treatment of the poor was so much liberal bleating and bunk. I was wrong."

"Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for it is now that God favors what you do."
—King Soloman, Ecclesiastes 9:7

"It is not for kings, O Lemuel
Not for kings to drink wine,
Not for rulers to crave beer,
Lest they drink and forget what the law decrees,
And deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
Give beer to those who are perishing,
Wine to those who are in anguish;
Let them drink and forget their poverty
And remember their misery no more."
-Proverbs 31:4-7
