Why do you s'pose they didn't just make it a felony to drive with any

Many bad ideas are sold as ' for the children '

I agree with Tim. The children not in the car deserve protection also.

Guy blows 0.08 and a kid in the car. He goes to jail for more than a
year, felony, and the kid ends up in foster care, or the mom and kid end
up sleeping in a shelter. Just like a lot of other mandatory sentencing
laws. unintended consequenses rule.



So, by your philosophy we should not try to do the right thing. That's a
pretty low standard.
