This is a complicated issue, and one that is more political than realistic. To say all people convicted of DUI's are driving around wrecklessly or endangering the public is 100% false. Its is extremely narrow-minded to group everyone who gets a DUI in the same category as someone who is running over women and children playing in the street at 2am. There are many factors that apply to ones intoxication, and many do not merit the punishment of prison and loss of license for extended periods. I believe drinking and driving is dangerous and irresponsible, but let the punishment fit the crime and make the DA's do their job better.
