DWI– The Scarlet S
Coming soon to a city near you. In Arizona if you are stopped for driving while intoxicated your face could be posted on a billboard showing your mug shot when you were arrested. The article does not clearly define if they put information up after a conviction or if after arrest but you get the point. Driving while intoxicated is the new scarlet S offense in America. Often times I see people who have been arrested for driving while intoxicated in Lubbock, Texas or other areas of West-Texas who are certainly not intoxicated. Yet that will not stop the gastpo and MADD Mothers from trying to shame a person. In fact in the last session certain elected officials tried to pass a bill in Texas that if a person is convicted of a DWI in Lubbock or anyplace else in Texas they will have to get a special license plate that would be marked with a “distinctive symbol” that would identify that driver to all as a person who has been convicted of a dwi. No other convictions carry this requirement for a license plate, not even a sex offender.
