Check Point to Freedom
September 18, 2011 | 
Author Police stop people from “traveling” to ask them for a DRIVER Licence”, When there is a check point it is ALWAYS called a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) check point, because it would be unconstitutional to conduct a check point for the reason of asking for a “DRIVER” Licence. The Articles of Confederation stated that “TRAVELING” was a “RIGHT”, and NOT a privilege that can be controlled and taxed … The US Constitution was written and took the place of the Articles of Confederation. When the Founding Fathers wrote the US Constitution “Traveling” was thought of as such a common right that they did not include it in the constitution. If you go back in time just a little over 100 years ago, before cars people used horses to travel. Ranchers also used horses to move cattle and other live stock from one ranch to another, the term used for doing this is “DRIVING”. Because people that were “Driving” the live stock were in commerce doing it the government required them to have a Driver” license. If you were not “DRIVING” in commerce (Making Money) you did NOT need to have a License to “DRIVE”. Requiring a “DRIVER” Licence is a violation of our rights to “TRAVEL”, and there is a lot of case law to confirm this. Understand? If you have any questions or comments just post them and I will get back to you.

Drunk Driving – Drunk Driving Facts
The facts about driving drunk include consideration of consequences: Punishment for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or driving drunk, will vary, based on geographic locale and law in that state or county as well as which country you find yourself in. The potential consequences will depend upon whether or not it is the first offense, and whether various punishment enhancements may apply.
Generally, for a first offense DUI or DWI, penalties will include a fine, possible jail time or community service, a driver’s license restriction, and mandatory attendance at an alcohol and drug education program.
Why Drunk Drivers Are Dangerous: Imaging studies of the brain when it is under the influence of alcohol reveal that different areas of the brain are impaired under high and low levels of alcohol, according to a Yale study published in Neuropsychopharmacology.
“What we found is that when people were really intoxicated, they drove like they were really intoxicated and in a real vehicle,” Pearlson said. “They speeded up, especially on corners, where most people slow down, and crashed more often into other vehicles.” When mildly intoxicated, but below the legal alcohol limit, he said, the drivers seemed aware of the fact that they were impaired and corrected for the deficit. The researchers also found that alcohol had a profound effect on some, but not all, brain circuits activated in sober driving.

The highest blood alcohol level was 0.1 and the lowest was 0.05. Drivers are considered legally drunk when their blood alcohol level is 0.08.
Here are some helpful drunk driving facts:
• One person is killed every half-hour due to drunk driving
• Each year approximately 16,000 are killed in alcohol related crashes
• Alcohol is a factor in almost half of all traffic fatalities
• Every other minute a person is seriously injured in an alcohol related crash
What Are Some Examples of DUI Penalties?
DUI punishment varies from state to state, so you’ll need to check with your lawyer to see what may apply in your particular state. Using California DUI penalties as an example, first offenders who are denied probation can expect the following:
1. 48 hours of jail time minimum.
2. 6 months driver’s license suspension
3. $340 fine
As you can see, DUI penalties are fairly harsh, even for a first offense. There are things that can factor in to a first time offense, depending on your state. Driver’s license suspension may be part of the package, but if you get probation, your state may allow you to keep your license provided you meet certain conditions set by the court. These can include rehab counseling, safe driver classes, and community service. Your lawyer will have more information, but make sure you understand what you are committing yourself to under a probation agreement. Violation of probation is taken quite seriously and can result in automatic driver license suspension and jail time.
