Scape, as I mentioned in an earlier post. In the GTA, the conviction rate of arrested impaired drivers is 30-40%.
The courts are the real problem here. Everybody else is doing their job.
It's time we held our judiciary to same level of accountability that the police face.
The rate of DD that are picked up is perhaps 1 in 10. Of those caught you get the 30-40% so no they are not doing their job. Of the ones that the system manages to catch then they are processed according but far too many are not even caught.
My point here is that the system needs a history of offenses before it can lower the boon of the harsher penalties otherwise it will be overturned for being seen as unjust as compared to the myriad of other DD that got off with far lighter sentences. So it can be argued that the courts may be to lenient but if we don't catch them in the 1st place there is nothing the courts could do anyway. We need to catch these people and what we have now is far to passive a system of detection.
Sorry Scape, the ends justifying the means doesn't wash.
I was almost killed by a drunk driver, and he walked away from the courts.
Giving up rights thinking it gives more freedom just doesnt work.
Ask down the courthouse how many people are coming as recidivists
and I think you'll find the answer.
