DUI Tests: The Case is Against You

Unconstitutional Per Se


M.A.D.D. and W.P.L. (Womyn's Prohibition League)
MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) struck a tremendous blow to the constitutional and the rights of every citizen of the united states when they got 48 states in the union to immediately pass an illegal per se law in DUI cases.  An illegal per se law makes it illegal in and of itself to drive with an alcohol concentration measured at or above the established legal level. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia have established a per se law.  The legal limit in most states is .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC) per se. That means it is against the law to drive a motor vehicle if you have a BAC of .08 or more, without having to prove intoxication. So on its face the illegal per se laws are saying that once the prosecution presents evidence that you had a BAC of 0.08, you are presumed guilty and a judge is then instructed at that point to tell the jury to declare you guilty, and you have to prove your innocence.  The prosecution literally does not have to have a case.

MADD Mad About Female DUI Arrests on the Rise

MADD Speechless Over Female DUI Arrests



Recently a trend was noticed, recorded, and reported on in the national media: Drunken driving arrests on the rise -- for women.

Oh no Martha, say it ain't so!!!
nevada dui attorneyDUI arrests have rising by 28% from 1998 to 2007. This is according to the Transportation Department reports. For men DUI arrests have actually fallen off by 7.5% during that time. The numbers, however, for male arrests for DUI are simply staggering. In 2007 there were over 620 thousand DUI arrests for men, for women the figure is a mere 162 thousand.



Here's where it gets sticky. They sought a statement from MADD, mothers against drunk driving, an all female organization that lobbys to reinstate prohibition lawas against alcohol. MADD was very caught off guard by the reports, and very angry that the national news media outlets reported it. [ I assume the national media has to run everything by MADD these days? ]

When asked what did they make of the findings, they had this to say:
Laura Dean-Mooney, president of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, told the Associated Press she could not explain the jump in arrests of women. “There's no hard data on that," Dean-Mooney told AP. "What you're hearing more is that women are under more pressure, they're now perhaps the breadwinner because of the unemployment rate.”
Riiiiiight! Last time I checked, 1998 wasn't back in the stone ages. We're talking about the last 10 years. There has been no tremendous change in female occupation stature in the last 10 years.

It is amazing that feminists will stoop to victimization tactics to explain away, criminal activity? Well, to you working bread winner moms out there, here's to you. MADD, might get their way and stop your choice to have any alcohol one day, but for now, this bud's for you.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

P.S.
Seriously, don't drink and drive... well at least not over the limit.
