I serve a few of these night life people each year. I see the balance walk out of each of the clubs, bars, and resturaunts and jump in their cars. My issue is the disproportionate amount of DUIs or who they affect, summer and winter. Tell me your qualification to speak before you do.

My qualification is the simple fact that my life and my daughters life is put in danger whenever someone drinks and drives on 30a. I personally hope everyone who recieves a DUI has their ass nailed to a wall to let them realize the seriousness and ramifications of their poor decision making. A seriousness apparently lacking within yourself. I think I will stay on my horse, thanks. Makes me happy to know the local police are doing their jobs. :D

You live in the midst of hell.
You should look for a new country home in the middle of the wilderness where you will only have to see your make believe world.

Since they got 2/3 a helicopter seems a bit excessive - especially in addition to a K-9 unit and the 6 cop cars I saw just on new 98. :dunno:

Night Angel and SB44, if it were your car - be it a 10 year old Toyota or a brand new Range Rover, I'm sure you'd appreciate the attention of the Sheriff's Office in tracking down the do-er's. It is such a pain to deal with the insurance company after you've been broken into, or had your car stolen.

Yes, resources are being used...but in the absence of the great bank robbery, murder, or mayhem, they're trying to do their job to protect the public from crime in progress. If something bigger were to present itself, I'm sure the resources would be diverted to that. In the meantime, let's be thankful that they're on the job and trying to catch the folks that are preying on the folks just trying to live their lives and hold on to what they've worked for.

Well, you have your opinion and I just happen to not agree with you. Just because you say it does not make my opinion wrong. I think the resources did not need to be used in this case and as a matter of fact, my son's car was broken into in front of my house and they did not do crap about it except take a report, nothing was ever recovered and we were never contacted again. That does not mean I expected them to break out the helicopters and K-9's.

You're absolutely right! I should not have intruded.

Apparently you are the one in hell based on your rants. Are you saying that locals or hospitality workers should be given a break on DUI's? What if they hit and kill one of your loved ones?

Did you witness someone breaking into the vehicle and call 911? Did they just say sorry you don't live in Miramar so we won't be doing anything?

I'm glad that the Walton County Sheriff's Department has a policy of catching a fugitive. They always seem to get their man and I completely support them in pursuing a criminal who has been caught in the act.

Our cops must be really bored, I mean a helicopter and K-9 units for a suspected car break in? Overdoing it a little?


Maybe these jerks and their contemporaries will get the message that in walton county no matter how small the the crime law enforcement will come at you full force and this will deter others from plying their trade in our area. Seems like a savings in the long run. Thumbs up to law enforcement.:clap::clap:

Good. Just one life saved more than justifies any discomfort financially or otherwise for those idiotic enough to drink and drive. If your willing to play the game, you need to be willing to pay the price.
I understand where you're coming from.

I wonder how many bars are on 30a. I wonder how many of the 6,000,000 people that come here a year had two drinks in less then an hour before they drove home. Get off your high horse.

You just lost the argument. :nono1:
