And more importantly, there's a difference between "punishment" and "rehabilitation." My friend with the DUI from Michigan served 72 hours in jail. All the rest of this shit is part of her "rehabilitation." Like the breathalyzer that she can't do at her house. Like the twice weekly AA meetings she must attend, to the total annoyance of AA, because she's not even vaguely an alcoholic. Like the letters she had to get fifteen friends write (and notarize) talking about how we never see her touch that demon liquor and how she's totally a changed person now that she's been in lockstep with the good ole state of Michigan. Like the $225 an hour she gets to pay that lawyer to read our letters, proof-read them, and then send back for changes so the whole cycle can begin again. The "punishment" was 72 hours in jail. All the rest of this bullshit? That's to keep our streets safer. Right? Right.
