Wrong. I did, however, get a phone call two days ago that a friend's dad just got killed by a drunk driver, so it was pretty exciting to log on this morning and see someone bragging about getting off for it.

.02/.08 = .25, which means you were 25% more than was legally allowed.

This should not be something you're proud of, and don't try to rationalize it by saying something like 'oh. it was just .002 over', especially when that's not even true.

.10 means that 10% of your blood was alcohol at that point. Think about that for a second.

Thanks for your concern, I don't know the guy that well anymore though. He was one of my best friends in grade school and junior high but we hung out with different crowds in high school and haven't kept in touch very much since we graduated. I was still pretty upset to hear about what happened to his dad.

One thing I hate about Australia. Our legal limit is only 0.05 and we have road blocks (called in Aussie lingo "booze busses") set up everywhere. So lets say the rebellious part of me is glad that you won a victory over the establishment.

That said I hope you don't continue to put other people's lives at risk. I'm all for abolishing laws for victimless crimes like drug possession - I mean if you wanna kill yourself I don't care. Just don't kill me and my family while you're at it.

That sucks, but dont stereotype my situation to someone who comitted vehicular manslaughter. I also think .002 over the limit given the circumstances is a little ridiculous IMO.

Also, the fact that in most states both the DA and the public defender are paid by the state, does not mean that public defenders are basically just sucking off the DAs. The reason most public defenders suck ass is because they generally have just graduated law school and have little experience, they also have gargantuan case loads, and the turnover is very high due to poor pay, high stress, little rewards, and a horrible stigma (oh my god - how can you defend child molesters and murderers??).

You are correct that you are fortunate enough that you can pay for an attorney - but to be honest, even those dumbass public defenders probably could have gotten you the same result given that this was your first offense.
