Default Re: Why VA sucks....

I agree to the DUI charges to some extent. Around here you can get a DUI for blowing a .01 yes a .01!! if the cop wants to be a dick! I used to bartend and knew plenty of people who blew below the legal limit (.08) and still got a DUI!! In fact, I was working one night when a couple of my bar guests became to drunk to drive. I did all that I was supposed to, cut them off, gave them food and even called them a cab. As I was helping them into the cab, the cops rolled up, took them out of the cab and arrested them for drunk in public!! NO LIE!! Out of the cab!! and arrested them for drunk in public!! WTF

Not signaling?!?!!?! why in the world is everyone so upset about that one? if there is a wide open road, and no one is around but a cop on the side of the road and you change lanes without signaling you are fined?!! That is absolutely ridiculous. I completely agree with the signal when people are behind you...when in traffic...blah blah blah...but come on that is WAY tooo harsh.

I believe in laws and just punishment, but with these laws it is giving WAY too much power into the cops hands to do as they please, to collect money, write tickets, for nonsense!! FACT: "The average amount of jail time for someone convicted of speeding over 90 mph in Virginia is greater than the average amount of jail time given to someone convicted of a first offense felony drug possession, felony shoplifting, felony embezzlement, felony grand theft auto or DUI with a BAC that is less than twice the legal amount! "

That is insane!! There are crimes that are more important than having your tint to dark, not signaling, having your car lowered!! come on! there are thieves, drug dealers out there, dead beat dads...Why aren't the cops more concerned about that??
