That's not a crime. But then if you test them for alcohol and find they're drunk, then they've been recklessly endangering everyone around them.
So you admit that cops are only involved after the fact and therefore the law did nothing to prevent the drunk from hitting the tree?

Easier than answering a question even, eh?
Once again, there's such a thing as recklessly endangering other people. Getting tanked up and trying to control a ton of hurtling vehicle is just that.
Agreed, if that's what they're doing - as observed by a copy watching the swerve going down the road or what have you.
I suppose you'd be cool about someone firing a gun ionto a crowd of people, provided he was lucky enough to not actually hit anyone.
No reasonable sane person would believe that one could fire a gun into a crowd and not hurt someone. Plenty of reasonable people have gotten behind the wheel of a car and that exactly that - and most don't hurt people. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
