I’ve always believed that simply throwing people in jail doesn’t stop people from drinking and driving…and for someone to be arrested for their 10th DUI means that they don’t know right from wrong. A woman in Florida, Janet Landrum, has a sad DUI resume to include a 10th DUI arrest this past weekend.
It’s obvious that people with multiple DUI’s don’t have common sense. After all, people who all these DUI arrests are alcoholics and they shouldn’t just be thrown in jail. It should be mandatory that they get help. In California people arrested for drunk driving are required to attend DUI programs or classes, but oftentimes that just isn’t enough. People need one-on-one counseling to get to the root of their drinking problem. Of course, all of this counseling would require money and the government really isn’t willing to fork over the money to back this type of initiative. Instead they keep throwing people in jail which ends up costing more money in the long run.
Isn’t it time to change DUI penalties? Obviously the current laws aren’t doing anything to deter people from drinking and driving…
If you keep doing the same things, you’re going to keep getting the same results.
If you’ve been arrested for a DUI in San Diego, make sure to hire a lawyer who specializes in DUI laws and procedures.
