You've got that right - see my earlier post #24.
I was just gonna thank you for that input, then add that the courts also award them a ton of revenue. It is labeled as the "victim restitution fee." In addition, they force "victim impact panels" on DUI convictions, and charge for that too.
Yet, for some strange reason, I never see them actually using that revenue to offer alternatives that could help definitively stop drinking and driving. They just use the money to lobby for stricter laws, resulting in higher revenues.
They disgust me.
