[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 5903534, member: 5905"] So you think the state is jacking up the fines simply to put money in their coffers? That is what it sounds like you're saying. States do not look at this as a "money maker". The fines continue to be raised because people don't learn. I submit they won't learn until the courts really get behind the lawmakers and quit letting even first time offenders off with a slap on the wrist. Im my opinion a 20K dollar fine 30 days in jail and loss of drivers license for a YEAR for first time offenders is not unreasonable. first time offenders would be able to get a permit to drive to and from work and no place else for that year. if caught driving during that time to someplace other than work it gets extended for another year. 2nd offenders would get double the fine, 1 year in jail and no license until the fine is paid in full and would be ineligible for a "drive to work permit". 3rd time loses triples the fine, 3 years in jail, and no license FOR LIFE and if caught driving again it would be an additional 5 years in the pokey. Killing or maiming a third party during a DUI incident is 15 to 20 years in the pokey ... Judges would NOT have discretion in the sentence. Written in stone. if you do the crime you do the time period. [/QUOTE]
