Ah, but as a highly paid athelete, he, of course, has his "Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free" card that he can play. Chances are he'll come out of this with a fine for an expired license.

Here in Ohio, a local Court Prosecuter crashed his car - with his daughter in it - and had a blood alcohol level of 0.18; the limit in Ohio is 0.08. He said he couldn't recall the crash. He was charged with DUI and child endangerment.

Ah, but he had a "G-O-O-J-F" card, too. The 0.18 reading was taken three hours after the accident; the law says it has to be within two. So, his defense said that because the blood test was later than two hours, he couldn't be charged with DUI - and if there was no DUI, no child endangerment.

And guess what? Yup, he was let free with a $400 fine - no DUI, no endangerment. The fact that his blood alcohol content would have been higher if he'd been tested within two hours apparently counts for NOTHING. These GOOJF cards are just great.

So why am I so irritated? Well, my daughter did the same thing last year - with no passengers. She didn't even have a blood test and got 3 years suspension, $1000 in fines, $800 in hospital charges, and sued $5000 for damaging the car. See, she doesn't have a GOOJF card because she's just a regular person.

And Justice for All...? Yeah, right, and I'm the King of Persia

Siggy

If life wasn't so pointless and absurd, I would take it more seriously.
