Agreed. But the position some people take here is akin to saying its fine to walk around pointing load guns at people and threatening to shoot as long as you don't actually shoot them; even missing them by inches is fine and dandy.

Yeah, fine line to be sure, I'm always willing to default to "let 'em go".

They need somebody to do that job. Perhaps that's part of the reason they've made it so easy to put people in prison.
Do you mean subvert the Right" to travel? Traveling is a right, not a privilege.

Do you exercise your "right" to travel? Do you have a driver's licence, proof of insurance, a tag and are you up to date on property taxes? If you do exercise your "right"to travel, if you do not submit to any of the following conditions, then...you've got a , personal, point.
Otherwise, I stand by my statement.

Walk all you want. You don't have a right to drive.
Correct, I do not have any of those permit papers from the G, I also do not have a SS#...

Correct, you do not have a right to drive, you have a right to travel... I travel in my automobile, I do not drive for commercial purposes. I travel for leisure in my pay for automobile...
I have won all my driving without a license complaints.

No. There is a certain amount of mens rea to that interaction you describe.
Your example would be akin to saying that someone that has been drinking will always purposely aim their car at someone, and swerves aside at the last minute. Essentially playing a game of "chicken." There's not a whole lot of that going on out there.

LOL, okay... when you grow up, they will require that you have a drivers license and all the other state required paperwork before they will let you use an automobile.
That or you live out in the sticks where they aren't going to catch you doing otherwize.

Then, personally, you have a point. Not one I disagree with. For 99.9% of the population driving is a privilege. Which is why I put the word in quotes. The next step will be to confine the "privilege" of travel to autonomous vehicles only.
Life in prison for 10 DUI convictions, seems like a clear violation of the 8th amendment to me..
If no person or property was injured or damaged, then the state is bringing the complaint.. In some states DUI is not a criminal act, but a civil act..
The punishment should suit the crime.. In this case, after the first two DUI, a mandatory year in prison for each additional DUI would seem reasonable..

9 DWIs and you'd be free.
Take the hint Dude, and get yourself some help.
You really won't get much to get drunk on in prison, for the rest of your life.

No shit. The one place where authoritarian control is the order of the day and lawlessness abounds.

Drink up. He won't be gambling with the lives of other folks out on the streets.
One in ten drivers coming your way are driving while legally drunk.

99 of 100 of the drunks never get caught, nothing ever happens, and no one is the wiser.
Yes, 99% of the people ignorantly give up their right for the privilege, they are fooled by the de facto government agency's into giving up their right for a so called privilege. They blindly enter into a contract with the state and DMV therefore they fall under the jurisdiction of the de facto agency's and the kangaroo traffic courts.. The state, the judges, the attorney's the insurance companies all make a fine living off of the ignorance of the 99%..
Think of it like this, if the 99% decided to forego the license and the insurance etc then the issue would be over.. Their house of cards would crumble. The same with taxes, if everyone decided that the IRS is simply the mafia with badges, extorting the fruits of our labors and decided to forgo paying any tax, the agency would seize to exist... They could not arrest everyone, their unconstitutional regulations and statutes would be null and void. The problem is that a few dissenters would be called " terrorist" or anti- American however if there were many dissenters then those many would be called " Patriots"
We need to ask ourselves are we "sheep' or are we simply Americans wanting to be left alone with our own lives aka "Patriots"?
