Kind of pisses me off that this clown is driving the same roads after 5 DUI's!!!! I know a guy at work who had 11. His license got suspended a couple of times, but that didn't stop him. He hired himself a damn good lawyer, and he's back on the road again.

Quoted: I don't know what is worse, getting 11 owi's or reading the stories of the retards who get 2 in a day. In Ohio, this means you lose your license for 90 days. And I mean the officer actually takes physical possession of it. Long story short, I'm nearly certain this woman drove her car home the next afternoon. On a suspended license. And if you told me she had a little buzz going 24 hours later, I wouldn't bat an eye.

Kind of pisses me off that this clown is driving the same roads after 5 DUI's!!!! Not sure how NH law is set up, but here in MS, three DUIs in a five-year period would equal a felony. The previous offenses could be from any state, as long as we could obtain certified dispositions on the convictions. Many people end up with 3+ DUI arrests, but very few convictions, due to aggressive lawyers, lackluster prosecutors, and lazy cops. I've seen more than a few felony DUIs reduced to second offenses so the officer wouldn't have to do all the paperwork or go to trial. I'm usually willing to help out a first-time DUI offender--especially if they own up for their mistake and show that they can be more responsible. A second offense suffers the consequences, and a third or subsequent offense equals no mercy. |

Don't most states give jail time for third time offenders? One of our sales guys had two DUIs within two years, totaled his company car on the second, and he spent some time in Gwinnett County jail. In MS, a felony DUI can carry up to five years incarceration. There is a mandatory one-year incarceration, but that can also be achieved through "house arrest", which requires a GPS ankle bracelet and intensive scrutiny by an offender's PO. The house arrest program works well when it's properly administrated. |

I do some work in the DMV industry. The data sharing is very spotty at best. I don't know about DUI's though. Seems like it would be a good one for AAMVA to concentrate on, but maybe it's more of a police issue. This is also true. Each state shows driver history differently on NCIC, and it's not always easy to decipher. Criminal histories are usually incomplete, at best. Obtaining the correct disposition information on each conviction can be a PITA. |

It does in NY
