8. DUI Is An Easy Money Maker

This can be a big money maker for local police and county government. Like drug property seizures, it can be abused. Most fines run into the thousands of dollars. If you're caught, then expect thousands of dollars in legal fees, license suspension (now you're paying extra for transportation), increased insurance costs, possible loss of job and something on your record that will undoubtedly hinder your future job prospects or any other activities you do that require background checks (coaching your kids baseball/soccer teams).

DUI is a serious crime. But the blood alcohol level has been reduced to the point it's easier to be charged. Hell if you're in your car with the keys (trying to sleep it off) you're charged. I thought I heard that one of the MADD founders was charged with DUI.
