It's official, the new South Carolina DUI patrol is about to begin. Thanks to the influence of MADD, the program may expand.
Highway Patrol announces DUI enforcement team : News : WPDE: “About half of all highway deaths in South Carolina are a result of DUI. More than 420 people died in DUI crashes in our state last year. South Carolina trails Montana for the highest number of DUI fatalities in the nation.The new enforcement team will begin work this holiday weekend hitting DUI trouble spots in certain areas. Troopers say every available trooper in the area will patrol the roads this holiday weekend.
As DUI crashes decrease in targeted counties, the team will move to other areas experiencing problems.”
Is it true that the only people who lose with heavier DUI patrols are the people who get caught? Some DUI attorneys beg to differ and feel that increased enforcement often times equates to degradation of our constitutional rights.
