My heart goes out to you, I want you to hear my story. I am behind you 100%. One night I had a couple drinks and drove and got caught. I paid a lawyer $1000, I was on probation 2 years I lost my license for 1 1/2 years, I did community service for 24 hours and I had 24 hours of counseling to do, and $500 total fines and counseling to pay for. I also had 5 days of AA I had to attend. I did them all and I learned that I will NEVER do it again. Not because of all the money it costed me but because of people like you who lost someone for no reason. But, the people I spent the time with going through the same thing did not care. The people did not care, all they cared about was the money. It was sad for me to see all the state makes you go through does not effect the people. I thought along time afterwards what could be done to make these people realize what they did there in no excuse for. They should be happy they were caught before someone did die. I work in a store now and I see many people drunk buying another beer. It actually sickens me. I believe one thing police can do is sit in a convience store on a friday or saturday, especially in the summer in plain clothes and catch them when they leave. But, I also know that their unfortunatly is politics involved because I know even OIB does not want to upset their visitors, so this again is so wrong. I wish there was a way the state would change things and police get serious on drunk drivers no matter WHO or where they are. I'm sorry for your loss.
