BUT, until the DA and Judicial System get tough and begin enforcing the laws, it won't work.
Until repeat Offenders are sent to jail, it won't work.
Until bail amounts, for repeat offenders are set sufficently high, it won't work.
And when inefficient and unprofessional members of the DA division are so slipshod that someone who blew .14 has his charge dismissed, it won't be taken seriously.
And when that aforementioned individual retains his job as Fire Chief, his employer makes a mockery of the judicial system. I wonder if they discussed his transgression with their Insurance Carrier to determine how the Insurance Company feels about someone driving a Town Vehicle after being ticketed for DWI and having his charge dismissed on a legal technicality and fumble by the DA? I know the answer to that one.
You can talk about all these proposed solutions you want; but until there is strict enforcement and stern penalties at the Bar of Justice, it will not work.
All of that sounds great
