Great DUI Information

Most Virginians do not ever imagine getting arrested.  Most Virginians cannot imagine ever going to jail.  However, most people will have a glass of wine at dinner and then drive home.  Others will have two beers at home watching football on Sunday and drive to the store for more potato chips or to grab some hamburger buns.  During one of these innocent activities, can you imagine getting arrested for DUI? 

Even though the Virginia crack down of DUI is admirable, when the government puts a lot of stock into one area of crime, many innocent people get caught up in the mix.  This presents a problem for over-charging in criminal prosecutions.  Prosecutors have discretion is charging people with DUI.  But with their bosses breathing down their necks trying to get convictions in order to satisfy political opinion, innocent people get the short end of the stick.  People need to be protected from this.

Here is a great website for DUI information.  Check it out and look how Virginia compares with every other state.
