Cops in Miramar Beach? WCSO operations & DUI discussion

[scooterbug44]

Sorry, I assumed you were because you said 15 passenger van - I thought you needed a special license for that size.

Zebra,
should there only be one set of penalties regardless of circumstances.

 

[emeraldcoastdav]

Someone stated 17 DUI arrests since the beginning of 2009.
How can that be when I know 5 in the last three weeks?

 

[emeraldcoastdav]

Maybe covictions and not include those negociated out.

 

[emeraldcoastdav]

Something fishy in that stat!

 

[emeraldcoastdav]

Swgb,
I'm not saying you are reporting fishy. I am saying there has to be a reason that stat is misleading because I know 5 in the last 3 weeks.

Maybe the Deputies made a New Year's Resolution called Zero Tolerance?

 

[emeraldcoastdav]

According to the Sheriff above it has been zero tolerance or repramand.
There is something fishy about that stat.

 

[emeraldcoastdav]

Was the stat from Jan 2010?

I assume everyone complaining about this has never lost someone to a drunk driver. I guarantee you will not give a **** about all these excuses for stupid and irresponsible behavior once it has happened to you.

No but I would still raise objections to extreme measures by law enforcement (or really the laws themselves). Busting people [for DUI] for sleeping in a car intoxicated for example.
