  • @websslinger And im not saying that the hospitals are telling lies but the third parties such as the media doing the reporting often times blows things WAY out of proportion and focuses on the negative aspects or whatever they think makes a better news story. The media often times doesnt tell the whole story. That being said, i am not saying that DUI is excusable because it is certainly not, my point was that there are still large numbers of people who DUI and are not caught all year round.

  • @websslinger yes statistcs are easily manipulated. any statistician would agree. If you change certain variables you can make numbers or percentages for example differ or look worse or better than they are. Also, whenever you get information you should question the source, no matter the topic. If the president of GM for example wrote a book about government bailouts, there would most certainly be bias involved.

  • @norburg1 Question the source? So, it's all a big conspiracy? Hospitals/Medical examiners lie about how many people they pronounce dead as the result of drunk driving accidents?

    Statistics can be made to say anything? So, If on an average weekend 1,000 people die in DUI related accidents - and on holiday weekends 5,000 people die on average - how would you interpret that (just as an example)?

    So in my 8 years as an officer - I was dreaming that I was 10 busier during holidays???

  • @websslinger and statistics and be made to say anything you want. you must also question the source, and the conditions behind the statistics.

  • @norburg1 Traffic safety initiatives are those such as "you drink, you drive, you lose" and "click it or tick" type enforcement. Many such initiatives are based on federal grant money to provide for added patrol and are based on times of increased activity. For instance, initiatives for increased "drunk driving patrols" are done during those holidays where statistically, there are increases in drunk driving incidents. It's not "bias" - it's statistics. Thus, it is logic.

  • traffic safety initive? shouldnt police be protecting drivers all year round equally without bias and while also applying logic to the given situation at hand?
