Those laws are on the books because statistics and history show impaired drivers are indeed a much greater harm to themselves and others.

I would say a much better example would be an officer who stops a driver at noon on Saturday with no evidence of alcohol consumption. There is a half open warm beer in the rear cupholder. The officer askes and the driver says he was the designated driver the evening before and drove some friends home. One of them must have left it in the cup. While the officer could legally charge them with an open container, they use discretion to simply have them throw away the container.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

That would be interesting - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:07:32

I've been trying to research what the jury instructions - MUTGR MU - 5/16 10:16:05

Honestly, it looks discretion-based so far. (nm) - ummmm MU - 5/16 09:59:19

It may be - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:01:46

Discretion doesn't require articulation of reasons. - ummmm MU - 5/16 10:02:55

it is a freedom or leeway to make decisions as to what - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:05:42

Do jaywalking laws say that the police can choose not - TigerMatt STL - 5/16 10:11:24

Having participated in the creation of several laws - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:14:55

lol. No - meatiger MU - 5/16 10:17:45

Yes, so jaywalking laws were enacted to keep people from - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:20:41

lol - meatiger MU - 5/16 10:08:12

Feel free to correct it meat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:09:48

RE: Feel free to correct it meat - meatiger MU - 5/16 10:14:30

Proper discrection is based on nothing but logic - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:16:40

So a cop pulls someone over and smells alcohol on - TigerMatt STL - 5/16 10:22:52

Likely no - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:26:53

Jaywalkers are more likely to be hit by a car than those - TigerMatt STL - 5/16 10:29:17

The law does not say that - meatiger MU - 5/16 10:18:29

Correct meat - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:23:08

So the jaywalker doesn’t get a ticket. One block later this - TigerMatt STL - 5/16 10:25:18

I would say so - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:29:22

But discretion isn’t based upon facts. It is subjective. - TigerMatt STL - 5/16 10:31:56

No, the purpose of the law is to reduce the likelihood - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:41:58

How does the law reduce the likelihood when it isn’t - TigerMatt STL - 5/16 10:44:01

It is enforced - people are charged - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:55:49

This is the kind of thinking that underlies the Trump - ummmm MU - 5/16 11:16:42

But as I have said, you need to be able to explain the - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 11:51:42

no no. He's ok with the justification used by the Soros- - CulturedDan KC - 5/16 10:04:55

No, I would claim that is not proper discretion - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:06:32

What about the ones that did not repeat?(nm) - meatiger MU - 5/16 10:08:58

Still concerning - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:11:01

Pretty much all criminals get released - meatiger MU - 5/16 10:15:22

Correct - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:28:04

I think lots of people can explain it, none can justify it. - hokie VT - 5/16 09:57:31

Agree on point 2 - it's not justified - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:00:05

The explanation is simple and obvious: it's a Stalinesque - hokie VT - 5/16 10:08:01

Pretty much(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 5/16 10:11:21
