re: Cedric Benson arrested (and now released)
Because the keys were in the ignition. He was looking at the motor or something similar. I had an underage possession of alcohol and they made me go to a DUI class with other folks. While a majority were typical DUI cases, most of them were people too poor to fight it. The girl that blew a .06 and her blood test showed .01 -- DUI. The guy who was mowing his lawn with a beer. You know that you're on state property within 10 feet of the highway? Got a DUI mowing his yard.
Let's stop kidding ourselves. The police's job has turned from concentrating on safety and protection and moved to making money. The problem is so many laws are ambiguous. There's no 'law' that says .08 or over and you're drunk. It's a suggestion, you can be charged for DUI whenever if the cop wants to, and it's all about if you have the financial means to fight such a charge. The boat thing IS very rare, but it can happen. Oddly enough, I did my paper for VASAP about what a terrible organization MADD is and the teacher praised me for it. MADD lies horribly in their statistics (if you get in an accident on the way home from the grocery store with a 6 pack of beer in your trunk, that's alcohol related accident in their opinion), the person who founded MADD left because of how they bastardized her ideas, etc. [this information all from VASAP]
