It isn't the cops who release these repeat offenders. Place the blame where it is due--lenient judges and weak criminal laws!

Cass - read my comment again. I didn't say it was the cops that released them.
The cops should do patrols, especially around the bars.
Do that periodically on a random basis and they'll catch a lot of these DUI drivers before they actually have a chance to kill one of us.
Word will get around that people better have DD's and it will cut down on the number of people attempting to drive while intoxicated.
It isn't so easy for people drinking at home or at a friend's house but if you see them stumbling out of the bar and then get behind the wheel - case closed.
Anymore - To serve and PROTECT means NOTHING!
They serve and REACT. I don't know of one police agency here on the shore besides maybe the Wicomico Sheriff's Dept. who takes a PROACTIVE stance. They all seem to prefer the REACTIVE stance and that's why crime is what it is now.

This case proves beyond a doubt (as if further proof was ever needed) that the State doesn't really give a damn about citizen safety. Four prior DUI's AND SHE STILL HAS A LICENSE?? Its a money machine and the State keeps coming up with a jackpot --- the lawyers who "specialize" in DUI cases get RICH and the State rakes in HUGE amounts of money with fines and fees and court costs...and they keep retired cops on the payroll giving "classes" to DUI offenders (like THAT really works), which are paid for by the offenders. Judges keep the fines rolling and have NO PROBLEM placing our lives in jeopardy (and make no mistake---thats what they are doing) by letting people continue to drive after 4 DUI'S!!! How the hell can someone's license be REVOKED for accumulating "points", but retain it after 4 DUI's???
