Is DUI Enforcement Politically Motivated? The Shocking Truth Exposed

Quick answer

Is a DUI a 'political crime'? Oakland attorney Andrew Dósa argues it is, because the legal limit is set by legislative will, not proven impairment. He notes the threshold fell from .10% to .08%, and Utah went to .05%—yet some people drive safely at .08%. A driver can be charged, he observes, even when no one is harmed.
