I find this sort of hilarious as deaths due to DUI far outweigh death by cop and are more likely to involve children and random civilians, and it is probably the most female-driven lobbying effort since first wave feminism. Now police chiefs in Canada are asking to decriminalize possession for personal use: CBC.ca: Police chiefs call on Ottawa to decriminalize possession of illicit drugs for personal use http://www...session-personal-use-1.5643687 So the public wants to enable DUI manslaughter, and police realized that stopping the war on drugs (because that is effectively what's happening if you decriminalize possession) is the best way to stop interacting with minorities. So what is the criminal landscape going to look like in the future? If DUIs rise, will action be taken to legislate alcohol on the business side so as to avoid police involvement? |

Cars will be banned from downtowns, DUI might not be as big of a problem, my boy. Or alternatively, nothing like this will happen, and we'll all be driving high and drunk out of our minds |

Regardless, drunk drivers should be summarily executed, right at the curb. Not just being over the limit, but say double the limit and the cop shoots you in the head. |
