Liquor costs money not a necessity to live. DUI how many deaths have been caused by DUI if he locked them up maybe they would learn their lesson instead he locks you up for driving while disqualified not being caught behind the wheel nor having keys nor being anywhere near the car. Really.

He should have to pay a “double fine” for endangering her life!!

He was way over the limit (208mg in 100ml) – but these idiots NEVER seem to learn!! Take their licenses for 3 years in future – as they are endangering every body else on the road!!!

Ok here’s the deal. You seem to be really concerned so lets say one friday/saturday a month you put some cones on east broadway and stop traffic. If you suspect someone is under the influence you either attempt a citizens arrest or you quickly take note of their license plate, a description of the vehicle and the driver and call the Hamilton police station. The dispatcher will then proceed to inform the nearest officer.

An even awesomer idea would be to try to solicit a bribe from the suspect. Then you’d be making loot! Then you could go get hot and still afford a taxi home. WIN WIN!

If you or any others appreciate my advice you can always email me at imatrolldontpaymeanymind@trollsalot.bm

What a ridiculous thing to say, let alone actually type out and post. Drunk driving is a serious offence, they need to be stripped of their license and heavily fined.

Because there’s a recession, the courts should get more lenient with people who break the law so they can afford the fines? The fines should stay as they are-or get stiffer-as a deterrent to these idiots. If they can’t pay, they go straight to prison. We can’t say that ‘people may go and rob.’ They could go and rob for a fine no matter how small…that’s a chance that we take-we can’t use that as an excuse to go soft on people.

The guy riding with his daughter should have got the book thrown at him-he could have gotten her killed.

And, sure enough, in July there were 177 road accidents including 3 deaths. Last week the police issued a warning about the proliferation of DUI incidents.

Why would the courts start getting more lenient, just as DUI’s are getting worse? What is going through the magistrate’s minds?
