WHy should there be a fine? Aren't we already supposedly paying for the police out of our tax dollars? Not..
What legal issues? They have to drive you to jail don't they? I'm much more likely to sue a cop for enforcing an unconstitutional law than I am taking me home.. But thats just me..

3 times in a lifetime? Or do they just make up 3 times in 10 years or whatever and if they find one within 10 years they can go back another ten years and so on?
We haven't even got into the discussion of the "record" and how that record affects said persons life..
Nor have we discussed how the district attorneys recieve points for convictions which are then turned into $. But we're not suppose to know that.
