There was a time when police would be your friend and help you instead of taking you away from your friends and family for something that is completely normal. There was a time when you didnt go to jail until you actually harmed someone or cost someone money. Innocent until proven guilty, right?

Next theyll be saying "if it saves one child, then it was worth it to take every smokers rights away..." and the sad thing is no one is going to do anything about it.

Truth be known, if there were no DUI, DUID, and mj were legal....there would be a LOT (like over 50% maybe) of LEO without a job....They depend on our suffering.
I didn't speculate about anything in my post or make any statements that required statistical backup. You quoted some percentages but for all we know they could be made up, as you didnt cite your source.

I am also speaking from the viewpoint of a non american. Law enforcement in my country doesn't profit from DUI convictions and prisons are non profit.

Seeing as you are fond of stats here are some government compiled stats for my country showing that DUI accidents have decreased as convictions for drink driving have increased over a 29 year period.

There are also statistics showing that the percentage of people involved in accidents who have drugs in their system other than alcohol has increased.
