Re: All you legal minds

Well just got a phone call from my buddy that he got an open container violation in Wisconsin, he lives in MN. He is on unsupervised probation because of a DUI in Minnesota. Does that cross state lines? Does it go on your driving record? he was the passenger.

I have no idea I said he is f'd and get ready for some jail time shooter...then I told him I would find out Im a mean lil guy.

Sorry man, that's a tough one for your buddy. Some say slow down, I say be smarter. Getting a DUI isn't smart (I got out of one w/ a abs sobriety @18) but the open container is lame for a passenger.

He should try and get a reduced sentence or plead no contest to some less. It will be on his record - likely a simple misdemeanor but w/ a felony it probably isn't good for his job/probation in MN - time to get a real lawyer.

I hope that noone on this forum has suffered the pain or more... than I have experienced... "in regards to the carelessness of another", ignoring the hazards of DUI.

That carelessness, on that man's behalf, causing the worst destruction in other's lives, the death of a loved one... striking a teen/child's life from those who adored her. Because he chose to ignore or chance... DUI.

I hope that the next time you are tested as to what to do on the DUI question.

You will think of the worst consequences and pain that other's have endured because some chose chance (stupidity) over DUI.

Think of MADD. Think of your children ,your siblings/close friends children.

Please don't DUI. Please don't allow anyone to DUI and if you have the power to stop him/her... use it !!

That is ALL your right/duty.

Otherwise... you share any blame as a result of consequences.

Help stop... DUI. PLease.

Very true, WB - tough lessons that no one can really understand but must learn/teach from... I know once I got caught young (w/o an accident) that it was probably just a matter of time and circumstance 'til something bad happened. Take a cab - call someone - pass out in the bar/street - but don't drive or be a passenger of a 'good' drunk driver.



And that's not enough - get off the damn cell phones while driving - it's the same part of the brain affected by alcohol. If you see some dumbass driving - they usually have a phone attached to their head. Politely drive around these people and give them the fake telephone sign (think surfer sign - hang ten like...). Your call/etc is not that important - we survived w/o them for plenty of decades. If you really need to use it - get in the slow lane on the freeway and pay focused attention or just pull over on a sidestreet. Your convience causes frustration and accidents.
