"Federal Bludgeon." The US Congress forces states to pass such DUI laws, like zero tolerance, with the threat of withholding highway funds if they don't.

Do you think Louisiana would have ever raised the legal drinking age to 21 unless Congress told those crawfish sucking bastards there would be no more federal highway funds?

deserving of equal punishment. Just expressing my displeasure with the Legislature; I said that I don't like the law, but can't fault the LE for enforcing it. I was not aware of the federal grant situation, so perhaps the State Legislature deserves my sincere apologies for this one.

I plainly stated that this weekend will be a big roadblock weekend. The high ranking officer told me, and I quote "Got Sturgis this weekend, got to have the blocks up. Then we got school starting so we'll do them next week too." I called myself doing everyone a favor, guess I was wrong.</p>

If it makes more sense to you, let's call them both 'send a message' weekends.</p> </div> </div>

But law enforcement should have a lot better things to do than enforcing ******** laws, especially if they're felonies.

 

[patdog]

I think the actual requirement comes from the USDOT and not from a Congressional mandate. Meaning the real source of this ******** is some federal bureaucrat.

What should Mr. Turner have gotten?

I might be drunk, but I wasn't mutha effing driving.

 

[Shmuley]

With that attitude, I'll be looking forward to seeing your drunk *** on Tru TV shouting, "Don't tase me, bro!"

 

[DovaDawg]

When your 20 year old kid gets arrested for a DUI after blowing a .02 (about one drink) by one of Starkville's finest, you might change your mind.

Again not saying its ok to drive drunk, the laws are way to strict.</p>

Just a guess here:

LEO = Law Enforcement Officer</p>

it's all about the money from the DUI's otherwise theyd be giving us free breath alizers before we get in our cars...

those who have been in starkville the last few years know that it has gotten out of control, by all means get the people that are ****** but pulling over and arresting an underage kid who had one beer and was driving a car full of people who had a lot more than one beer is ridiculous. the kids that were wasted got to go home and the kid who had one beer went to jail...happens almost every night and thats why someone said they are discouraging DD's

also know someone who walked to a friends house saturday night, walked back to her car sunday morning and as soon as she got on the road a cop pulled her over and asked her to blow...she was still over the limit and was arrested. thats just stupid

 

[Ivehadbetter]

THAT is some ********.

 

[Shmuley]

From the first line of Rehnquist's opinion in <span style="font-style: italic;">South Dakota v. Dole</span>, 483 U.S. 203 (1987):

"In 1984, Congress passed into law the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, 23 U.S.C. § 158, <span style="font-weight: bold;">which ordered the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to deny</span> a certain percentage of federal highway funds to states allowing persons under 21 years of age to drink alcoholic beverages." [emphasis added].

 

[McMeat]

For your information, the Supreme Court has roundly rejected prior restraint.

Enjoyin my coffee......

no public transit system is the one thing I really really hate about Starkville. You can't go out and catch a cab home. Therefore, you can't go out without getting a DUI. Starkville roadblocks are fcuking ********.

A former state game warden will face trial on multiple charges in connection with the January crash that killed a Mississippi State student and a local woman and seriously injured another woman. Ryan Crick, 25, of Ridgeland, was arraigned in Oktibbeha County Circuit Court Wednesday on grand jury indictments on three charges of aggravated DUI and one count of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or injuries. Crick is free on a $35,000 bond.

The three aggravated DUI charges stem from the predawn Jan. 25 crash on Oktoc Road that killed Matthew Gaskin, 23, of Aberdeen and Jessica Burks, 27, of Starkville and seriously injured Heather Kay McMillan, 26, of Maben, who spent several days in a Tupelo hospital following the crash. Shortly before 5:30 a.m. Jan. 25, McMillan, Gaskin and Burks were thrown from a green 2001 Jeep Wrangler driven by Crick when it flipped after veering off of Oktoc Road just south of the entrance to Browning Creek subdivision and struck a steep driveway embankment.
The jeep, which was heading north at the time of the crash, flipped at least once before coming to rest on its side, Oktibbeha County sheriff's deputies said at the time.

Crick - a Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks game warden at the time - left the scene of the crash, reported the accident by phone to E-911 operators and was picked up by Eric W. Gregory, 31, who drove from Winston County, said Bryan.
The jeep Crick was driving when the crash occurred belonged to Gregory. Crick later turned himself in to Oktibbeha County sheriff's deputies shortly before noon Jan. 25 and was promptly arrested on the charge of leaving the scene of an accident.

Several days after the fatal crash, Crick was formally charged with the three counts of aggravated DUI after deputies received the results of blood tests from the Mississippi Crime Laboratory in Jackson. Blood tests are standard procedure in investigating any fatality crash to determine if drugs or alcohol may have played a role. Sheriff Dolph Bryan has not commented publicly on what the results of the blood test disclosed, citing concerns that releasing the results could prejudice a potential jury pool. Gregory has also been indicted by the grand jury on a charge of being an accessory after the fact and was arraigned in Circuit Court earlier this week. Gregory is free on a $5,000 bond.

Crick was charged under Mississippi Code section 63-11-30, which addresses driving under the influence that results in death or mutilation/serious injury. Should Crick be convicted on the aggravated DUI charges, he faces a sentence of between 5 and 25 years per charge and would be required to serve 85 percent of the sentence as required by law. If convicted on the charge of leaving the scene of an accident with death or injuries, Crick could be sentenced to between 30 days and year in jail and fined up to $5,000.

He has been fired from the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, officials said. Should Gregory ultimately be indicted, tried and convicted on the charge against him, he faces a sentence of up to 5 years in prison

This dude knew the rules......now he will pay the consequences....(oh and i was friends with one of the victims)

Please don't start quoting some second rate musician as a theologian. People drive home from the bar after drinking because they are irresponsible. End of story. I have only been one from Starkville for a year or so and while I was there I can tell you that about 10 of my friends got DUIs. About half of these guys were under 21 and NONE of them blew below 0.08. Point being when people are below 0.08 the cops usually aren't going to give them a DUI. Most people that I knew ended up with open container, underage drinking, disorderly conduct, and everything else besides a DUI. It taught them a lesson financially. You try asking your Dad for $2k to pay off your dumbass mistakes. Still, it's better than getting a DUI on your record. Most cops aren't that bad. I had to do some community service for a dumb prank I pulled and I got to know a lot of the cops and I liked most of them. They are just regular people trying to make a living. If you or the people in your car aren't a smartass to them they will generally leave you alone. I watched a kid throw a beer bottle at a cop car going down university a few years ago and the cop came into Mugshot's and almost beat the kid's ***. I stopping feeling sorry for people like Bill and Fdawg after that.

Funny that I was actually at Mugshots when that happened. The kid was a dumbass but im not talking about these kinds of people. Im talking about the responsible kids who dont drink but a few beers and fcuked for it. Dont start spouting off that you lived here a long time and none of your friends got screwed over. ********... I know tons of people who were under age and blew less than a .05 and got a DUI for it. There are tons of people who get dui's at .08 and they are all of age to drink. I also know people who were simply leaving the bar and got an open container on their way home. This is complete ******** and you must have hung out with a bunch of losers who never went out. People who get into their cars the next morning and still get DUI's. Your right saying that most cops are good people. There are a few bad apples and it seems like most of the cops I have come into contact with in Starkville are comlete douche bag joke stars. Im not even talking about being a smart ***, im talking about useless laws being put into effect and making useless arrests.</p>

Without getting into a really cool conversation with you about how many times I went to the bar and how awesome I am at drinking in general, I'll say this: I suspect that you are still going to State or aren't far removed and from it and you seem like the frat guy type so I would be willing to bet we know a lot of the same people. Call em what you want, they are probably your friends too. That being said, zero tolerance haas been put into effect for a reason. For the same reason that adults don't do keg stands or play drinking games to pre-game for the bar. Underage drinkers don't know the difference in 0.2 and 0.8. It's pretty simple. Adults have a lot more self-control. If you are at a bar and you don't hear about a road block in Starkville, you need cooler friends.

why the hell would you feel sorry for me ive never got a dui, hell im of age and im afraid to drive in starkville when ive had one beer. But to give some poor freshman or sophmore a DUI when they are trying to be responsible and give some very intoxicated friends a ride home is just stupid. No one said the cops were bad people but it sure seems that about 1:30 in the morning a lot of them get on their high horse.</p>

where's optimus prime when you need him?

 

[SLUdog]

with dinner. Frankly, I think the drinking age should be as low as 19 or 20 but that's a different issue.

 

[futaba.79]

I must warn you that grammar smack is unacceptable on the 6pack.

 

[biguglyjoe]

between the .02-.079 range can be nonadjudicated. .08 or greater can't be. It doesn't ruin the under age drinker's life, but it may scare them enough that they never make the same mistake again and kill themself or somebody.
