this is great. "In an attempt to crackdown on alcohol related crime in college towns...

I love this. *love it.*

a bill has passed through the Pennsylvania senate that would increase the maximum fines for public drunkenness and underage drinking violations" (onwardstate.com)

I think that would just increase cash flow to local jurisdictions, not really do much to crackdown on alcohol related crime. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 22, 12:06 14
- here in the oc...most of the main malls have a police substation nearby..not just mallcops..easy for em to setup dui checkpts -- nm - budice Oct 22, 12:11
- I disagree, actually. you can bury a $300 fine (I needed more books, I needed art supplies) but burying $1000 fine in a semester's expenses would be - amanda Oct 22, 12:09 11
  - there would be a lot of highly intellegent trash pickers on the road crews every weekend - zeitgeist Oct 22, 12:24 1
    - is that always an option? i'm pretty sure it's not always optional here. a fine is a fine. period. -- nm - The Andead Oct 22, 12:26
  - I'd rather it be serious community service hours personally. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 22, 12:21
  - A college student worried about this? Doubt it. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 12:12 7
    - Maybe not directly, but when mom and dad find out they're looking at serious money for stupidity...... - Will Hunting Oct 22, 12:13 6
      - Oh, we are talkoing about repeats? Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 12:13 5
        
        My thought, if it's a legitimate issue, ya know property destruction, dui of course....make the first one hurt. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 12:15 4
        
        clarifying: we're not talking three beers and walk home. we're talking about staggering, puking in side yards, passing out in stranger's yards. - amanda Oct 22, 12:20 2
        
        Yeah, that'd be property damage for me. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 12:21 1
        
        Yeah, if they walk home and nothing is worse for the wear, let them be. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 12:22
        
        100% agreed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 12:17
- Then it's a win-status quo. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 12:07
