So what do you suggest we do with people who drink and drive and get caught? Again, I ask, if a cop pulls someone over for whatever reason and sees they are drunk, should they just let them go??

How about giving them a citation to discuss needs after and taking them home? To serve and protect??

$30+k a year to house a person in jail as a national standard. Treatment is generally 10-20% of that.. Not lookiing it up right now but just going off of memory.
