It seems the world is finally waking up that the neo-prohibitionist movement supported by the MADD mothers is starting to crack. MADD is nothing but a group of professional victims exacting revenge on a group of drivers that are not responsible for the majority of death on the roadways.
MADD continues to push to diminish your constitutional freedoms against unreasonable searches as well as due process. As an NHTSA
FARS database analytical expert, you would be amazed at the overinflated BS that is used by this special interest group to get this bad legislation passed. Here are actual numbers reported by law enforcement for 2008 / 2009 for all multi-vehicle accidents involving a fatality:
For the record, of those per se drunk drivers, over 82% in both 2008 and 2009 had a blood alcohol concentration >=.12.
Why is MADD now pushing .05 and breathalyzers in every new vehicle?
Why is MADD pushing more draconian penalties on drivers that are not doing the majority of the killing?
We should start focusing on the speeding and inattentive drivers that are doing the majority of the killing?
MADD profits from each and every arrestee. With over 1.6m arrestees annually the DUI economy created by legislators with the help of this neo-prohibitionist special interest group now exceeds 18 BILLION dollars annually.
My suggestion, the federal government stop funding MADD annually to the tune of 35m. That’s a big waste of my tax dollars.
Please note I do not support or condone drunk driving. I do not support MADD either and their misuse of bad statistics and tear jerking stories to push more and more bad legislation that does nothing to save lives.
