Andy wolf…you da man! Yes, Dan and Brian, the results of DUI is horrendous. But each state is quite capable of handling it. The federal gubmint is into every area of our lives now. How much more gubmint control of your lives do you want, Dan and Brian?

I’m not saying that we don’t need strict punishment for drunk drivers, we do. what I am saying is that this is state business, not the business of the feds, and that they need to butt out. We elect a legislature to pass laws in California and we don’t need some federal bureaucrats, that don’t answer to the voters, dictating laws or even getting involved where the state is clearly in charge.

Run the drugged driving programs, like the Country of China and policy on drug possession.
Public executions of trafficking, using, and/or causing an accident.

I second what Mr. Wolf stated. I think we also need to ask ourselves if we want the Govt. to use tech to fight pre-crime. There are penalties that punish those who break the law, but shouldn’t we have the choice to break the law. Do we want governors on every vehicle to prevent people from speeding? Or cars that dont start if your not buckled in? This is a very slippery slope……

First offense, seize all of their vehicles, and do SOMETHING far more effective to keep them from driving. Make DUI an automatic FELONY offense, if you injure someone, add another felony, and make them count for the “Three Strikes”. If people faced LWOP prison sentences, they might think before they drink and drive.

I would guess that Mr. Wolf has not felt the consequences of a drunk driver harming someone close to him. For repeat offenders, I hope they incorporate GPS technology into the defense against the drunks that can’t control themselves.

Feds, do what the Constitution tells you to do. Provide for the national defense, control the currency, regulate interstate commerce and then stay out of our business. We have a right to self govern but when the feds take over our responsibilities and make demands on us we lose that right. We need local control of our lives and need a smaller, less meddlesome central government.
