    sapphirecommunity.com Sapphire is one of the longest-living and most famous communities on Bungie, with a history spanning over six years (this is not our first forum!), millions of posts, and so many in-jokes we had to create our own history archive to help us remember them all. Then we got tired of Bungie mistreating private groups and made our own website. Come and see what has made Sapphire the choice hangout for thousands of people since 2009 at sapphirecommunity.com

New Mexico bans people convicted of drunk driving from buying Alcohol

Now just to be clear, this is not actually been turned into a law yet, but it has much support in the New Mexico legislature, so it is very likely it will be passed. [quote][url=http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/09/us/new-mexico-alcohol-sales-dwi-convicts.html] This week, an aggressive new bill was being considered that would forbid many people convicted of drunken driving from buying alcohol anywhere — stores, restaurants or bars. If it passes, it would be among the most restrictive drunken-driving laws in the nation. Under a 2005 New Mexico law, people convicted of drunken driving are required to install ignition interlock devices in their vehicles, typically for one year for a first offense. Drivers have to breathe into the device to start the ignition, and it does not allow the car to start if it detects a threshold level of alcohol on the driver’s breath. The current proposal would expand that measure, barring thousands of New Mexicans who are required to have the devices from buying alcohol at all. Under the measure, drivers with the interlocks would be issued a specially marked license indicating that they are prohibited from buying alcohol. The idea has gained popularity. This week, the measure sailed through the State House of Representatives in a 59-to-5 vote, and it cleared a Senate committee on Friday.[/quote][/url] What do you think? Too restrictive on someones personal liberty or a good way to stop drunk driving? Personally I have concerns about how effective it would really be, basically this law would turn people who can't buy alcohol into underage college students, if they want to get alcohol they would just need to get a fake license, have someone buy it from them, go to a party where alcohol is served, and any other way someone who can't legally buy alcohol can find ways around it.

  • That sounds like a pretty good idea to me, actually. So long as the consequences are progressive (i.e. first offense = alcohol privileges removed for one year, second offense = three years, etc.), have no chance of "paroling", and require full conviction, I'd support it.
