Life, Satire Inch Closer
Wednesday, January 8th, 2003Remember Minority Report? When precogs forecasted crimes, and arrested almost-criminals before they got the chance to act?
Here’s the Washington Post story on the Fairfax, VA cops pulling drunks out of bars. This paragraph in particular caught my attention:
Police consider the operation a success and said they would consider doing it again. Lt. Tor Bennett, assistant commander of the Reston District station, described it as a “low-key” operation designed to stop drunks before they got behind the wheel.
Get it? Arrest them before they get behind the wheel. Before they commit the crime.
Your humble Agitator came into possession of a MADD fundraising letter from November of last year. Here’s an interesting quote:
We need to change the culture in this country. It’s not okay to put the keys in the car when you’ve been drinking, forget BAC. It’s just not acceptable to drink and drive. Period.
And here’s a telling paragraph from an editorial in the Colorado Springs Gazette. Set up: MADD’s launching a “You Drink, You Drive, You Lose” campaign. The goal is to find anyone on the road who’s had a drink. BAC be damned. MADD’s skipping the legislature. They’re teaming with local law enforcement officials to install sobriety checkpoints. Have even the slightest trace of alcohol on you, and you go to jail. They know they can’t prosecute you. But they’re hoping the humiliation and inconvience of a trip to the pokey will keep you from drinking in the future. The kickoff event was keynoted by a guy named William Berger. Here’s the relevant paragraph:
The immediate past president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, William B. Berger, says that if a driver stopped at a sobriety checkpoint has had even one drink, he or she will be taken to jail. “We will not allow a man or woman to leave a roadblock knowing they consumed alcohol,” Berger said.
One drink, you’re done.
If MADD gets its way, 1 in 2 Americans can expect to be stopped at a sobriety checkpoint every two years. That’s 70 million Americans stopped and searched every year for any trace of alcohol — most all done at hours most conducive to social drinking. That’s a hell of a lot of arrests. A hell of strain on the justice system. And all to catch people who aren’t enough of a public threat — who weren’t driving erratically enough — to be otherwise pulled over by cops.
Catch ‘em before they commit the crime.
Who needs precogs? We’ve got MADD.
Radley -
Thanks for making us aware of recent MADD issues. I, for one, would have never known what the group has become over time.
I have no doubt that it started with good intentions, but I certainly hope they are stopped short of their new, unstated goal.
Pointing-out these goals to the unknowing public is a good start…
“Catch ‘em before they commit the crime.”
Sounds like Bush talking … “Attack them before they attack us.”
Pre-emptive strike … that is what being American is all bout nowadays … right ?
You’re so right angie. we should’nt try and take out those who intend on taking us out. lets wait until a man has the power and the ability to park a massive bomb in one of our allies cities and kill a few million people. impossible? look at Jose Padilla. after all, we wouldnt want to jump the gunn, right?
scanner:
Yes, so let’s bomb every nation-state that looks as if it is getting ready to cross the threshold from non-nuclear able to nuclear able. Sounds like a great and workable plan to me. After all, why would Saddam want a bomb, Clinton didn’t invade any nations in the 90’s on trumpted up charges of genocide, or bomb any aspirin factories to distract people from his ethical problems.
Well, We’ve careened of topic here. Putting the Iraq thing aside, I do believe in two general common sense principles when it comes to pre-emptive action.
1. If you’re going to fight you should throw the first punch.
2. If you’re wrong it is infinitely better to be the guy who apologizes than the guy who is apologized to.
3. This is more of a good idea than a rule. Use the monkey butlers as fodder first and spare no expense on the fish.
Tuning back to MADD: The problem with the whole MADD deal is basically what Roger says. It’s an organization that started off with a good idea that has gotten out of hand over time. It established a good name and some popularity. The thing is most folks don’t realize how far MADD is trying to go. I am a perfect example, just last year I gave money to MADD. Had I had so much of an inkling that they were going down this road I wouldn’t have given them the time of day.
