[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 601928, member: 52972"] Caymen, You keep making a leap to the wring conclusion. You keep inferring that the police are arresting people in Texas based soley on the assumption that they will get behind the wheel of a car. That is not what is going on at all. The people are being arrested for public intoxication in a pulbic place, ie...a bar. These people are not being charged with drunk driving nor is it ever assumed that they have evidence that they will drive. People who have sober designated drivers or escorts are given a citation and allowed to be escorted home. The fact that their friend is is sober does not mean that makes the drunk immune from injuring themselves, so they are still volnerable. Those who do not have an escort or a sober designated driver are arrested and taken to jail to sober up. The drunken person may become involved in an incident and therefore cannot be left unattended. Also, I have reread some of the recent postings and do not see where anyone called you a name, but perhaps I missed something. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
