BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Cracking down on drunk driving. Maryland saw a huge jump in DUI arrests from 2014 to 2015 — a trend police want to reverse.
Tracey Leong explains what they’re doing about it.
It’s a dangerous trend that isn’t slowing down. In fact, there were nearly 100 DUI arrests just at the start of 2016.
Officer Noah Leotta — struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver. The 24-year-old was working on a task force to stop impaired drivers on the evening he was run down this past December.
“The state of Maryland has some of the weakest penalties for drunk drivers. Until they take this crime seriously, there is no justice for these families,” said Chief Tom Manger, Montgomery County Police Department.

If they want to see the trend reversed they might STOP conducting illegal search and seizures on the sides of the roadways.
Drunk drivers kill more people than my AR-15.
Is this saying that there are more DUI's, or more DUI arrests?

Didn't Leotta stop a drunk driver?
Or just slow him down?
