Robb (1000+ posts) Thu Jan-24-08 11:31 PMOriginal message Different colored licenses for DUI offenders? My local rep (also a Rep) got his hat handed to him today on a state bill he was sponsoring that would make convicted drunk drivers have a different background color on their driver's license.Yellow for one offense. Red for multiple. No convictions for 5 years, you can apply for a "normal" license.How is this different than the proposed colors for vehicle plates? Any other states playing with this? And what the heck is it supposed to do?

Got any alternative suggestions?I dunno.I have mixed feelings about the matter, but detect a whiff of hypocrisy in the primitives. If the primitives think it's okay to "profile" potential drunken drivers, why isn't it okay to "profile" potential terrorists?

Why give them a special plate? Suspend their license for 10 years.

Suspend their license for 10 years.Doesn't stop them from driving.Jail does though I understand that. Get caught driving on a suspended license, impound the vehicle, go to jail for 90 days. Work release if needed.There is a solution to the problem. No one has the balls to address the issue.
What if one is an illegal and a drunk driver?How does DUmmy logic handle that?
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
Shame as a punishment is a valid prevention tool.As a society, we seem to have lost the ability to feel shame. I think it is a good idea to bring it back.
Yes, sadly shame is an outdated concept in DUmmieland. I prefer tattooing their foreheads but that's just me.
I don't know Frank seems to me the way to avoid all of this happening to one,is for one to simply not drive drunk.
