If you're in Mexico, you might think about staying there until the "holiday" season is over. I'd think it's way safer there right now.http://azdailysun.com/news/state-and-regional/more-than-dui-arrests-so-far-in-arizona/article_c08e7db4-208c-5818-afe9-c5daf0a71ffb.html

Police State BS....they legally detain 44,000 innocent drivers and an equal number of passengers to bust 2000 people most of who are around that .08 " 3RD Tier lawyer Employment Act" number

If they would arrest the head of GM when one of these deaths occurs within a month it would be impossible to drive with alcohol on your breath!...Happy Holidays Joe!!

Jerry What does arresting the head of GM have to do with someone making a choice of driving while drunk? That is like putting the head of Nike shoes in jail because someone tripped over their shoelaces...

Wild thought but with today's judicial system, it might be possible to sue the car company because they made a lethal weapon and put in the hands of a drunk. Firearm companies get sued all the time for "wrongful death" so maybe it is time to start suing car companies for the same.

When I was down and out in Albuquerque some years ago, and down by the courthouse; this guy came up to me and said he'd give me $20 to pee in a bottle for him.

Joe it was "down by the court house', and it all meant he was going in for a drug test that he couldn't pass. Get it?
