MarkO, don't even get me started on how ridiculous the whole DWI/DUI thing has become. Not only has the government taken away our 5th Amendment right (we are required to give Breathalyzer "testimony" against ourselves without a court order), we are denied due process (license is revoked without being convicted of a crime).

Also, as I believe people are entitled to make one mistake, I think first time penalties are too harsh. It's the repeat offenders that we need to buck down on... the people with 20 offenses (how is even getting that many possible), rather than ruining the life of a person that made one stupid mistake.

I agree that driving is a privilege, but it is wrong for us to give up our civil rights when we're doing it.

Making things like drag racing a felony is ridiculous. I am frankly tired of government crinimalizing everything.
