A video of excerpts from California DUI attorney Lawrence Taylor's keynote lecture at the North Carolina Trial Lawyer Academy to over 100 lawyers. Part 3
Most of the legislators in my home state are currently practicing defense attorneys or they are partners in private firms with practicing defense attorneys.
These would be the people to legislate a system such as the one you mentioned. They are too busy making loopholes in the current DUI laws because that is their bread & butter! If there was a transportation system as you mentioned it would really cut into their profits. That's not going to happen!
High Profile people got the money too- to keep the DUI Inc. profitable for the city and state. If the city was really concerned about safety- why dont they make a "Bar/Nightclub Safe Transportation System"- which gives people an affordable method to get themselves and car home after a night of drinking? Or affordable chauffers to park your car in a secure monitored overnight garage and have a shuttle system to take you to and from the garage? Not everyone is a short taxi ride away from a bar
Good video, There is a common perception out there that DUI is about obviously drunk people driving. In reality there is a large number of defendents who have had one or two drinks and are perfectly coherent and able but the inaccuracy of the machine, poor field conditions and the reliance on assuming everyone is average in height, weight, medical condition, balance, sleep, diet etc convicts them. This is why you have seen an explosion of high profile, responsible people get convicted.
