File this under advocacy groups who I'd like to see disappear (along with the AARP and NAACP...surprisingly, I find the ACLU more palatable the older I get).
During a story on some clown who's been arrested for DWI five times, WBRZ (who purports to be fair and balanced, but has a hard time balancing fair with their editorial bias) wrapped the story up with a quote from the executive director of MADD here in Louisiana. To paraphrase Ms. Donna Tate--I don't know how someone with five DWI arrests can still be driving...
Well, Donna, how about an arrest isn't a conviction. Let's start there. In fact, we can stop right there too. MADD are actually a bunch of people who don't give a rat's tail about your Constitutional or civil rights--all they care about is their agenda, which is pretty much saying that if you drink you're bad.
I'd pay money to see Ms. Tate to get gigged after leaving the bar room and blowing a 0.081.

No one said you had to be smart...
To be a cop either:

Watch out for the "aggressive" DWI enforcement here in Louisiana this weekend. But, come Tuesday, we'll go back to only enforcing the limits on blood alcohol in a half-ass, haphazard manner.
This is dumb like "Click it or ticket," and the gay "Feel the heat," campaign. While I don't have time to run the numbers right now--intuitively, you should know that if you decide to drive under the influence, drive sans seat belt or speed, your odds of getting away with it are far greater than the odds that a cop will accept a free doughnut. If I were one to wager, I'd call it a "sure thing."
How about we do this--we aggressively enforce traffic laws that pertain to safety, we concentrate our efforts on areas where we will make the roads safest for the greatest number of people and we do it all the time. Not just on busy, holiday weekends.
And let's CERTAINLY give up the two dumb ass practices of concentrating troopers and other law enforcement personnel at seat belt and sobriety checkpoints. If you want to get the most enforcement for your buck, putting all your pigs in one place is WAY, WAY dumb....
Have a safe Memorial Day weekend...and, if the opportunity presents itself, thank a member of our Armed Forces.
