Zachery Ty Bryan is headed to jail for 16 months stemming from a 2024 DUI arrest -- and this time, he’s not walking away with probation.
Link to post since mbin is a little... broken right now.
from the article:
“Court docs show Bryan also admitted to having two prior DUI convictions, putting him in even hotter water. If he ever gets hit with a fourth, the penalties only get harsher.”
There is the problem right there. How many chances do those with DUI charges deserve? It’s just more passes for them to seriously hurt or kill someone.
What an idiot. He’ll be right back in there soon enough.
TBF, anyone that drink drives is a bloody idiot. Fame doesn't change that
Agreed, for sure. And this is his third DUI. At what point do we say enough, before he ends up killing someone?
Over .15 BAC (more than twice the legal limit) and his third DUI
It's a ten year felony on the third offense in my state, I met a guy that later got sent to prison for years for it, a painter or something like that in a rural area, very nazi ish law enforcement up there, and that's lifetime count on the dui's.
As to the legal limits, .15 is not that high, legal limits used to be more like .12, but the feds refused highway sharing money with states if they didn't drop it to .08, as they were on their kick to make sure the police could find something to take down anyone that works for a living for one reason or another.
The feds also forced states to up their drinking ages to 21 refusing highway money to states that didn't up it from 18 or whatever. Louisiana was the last hold out and didn't do it until around 2001 or so, and their highways were shit because of it.
The feds don't have the authority to do most of what they do, and they got their foot in the door with money, because of their income taxes they've enough money to be able to use that to get the States, which by the constitution have a lot more power that the feds have now ursurped, to surrender it to them.
We are led to support the strong federal government because the south was all states rights to support slavery, and has since used cynical arguments when it served them for states rights, even as they repudiated them as often as not.
But the federal government is a monster that must be put back on it's leash, as could not be more clear. I digress though, no one thinks people should be driving drunk, I am just making the point, that .12 for generations was the standard, in some states. Different people have different tolerances due to genetic differences, and the limits are geared towards those with low tolerance to alcohol.
The larger problem is why we are completely reliant on vehicles, that we cannot even enjoy more than two drinks on the town and legally go home. There must be better ways, fuck cars.
Yeah 0.15% is not that high, about 3 beers. People sometimes measure over 1.0%
I just wanted to read the article to see what he did that got him this sentence. IMO anybody will get the message to stop driving drunk if they have to go to jail for a few months. I wonder if he got jail time on his second offence and just kept going.
At least he'll improve his home by being away from it for a year
It's a shame he wasn't dealing and could turn in his friends to beat jail like the old man.
“Looks like it’s back to jail for me! Auogh auogh auogh!”
What are you using to post links? This is at least the second post of yours I've seen that isn't a link, just a picture.
I'm on mbin. Maybe it's an mbin bug. I use the web interface. I have no clue what's going on :/ I have attached a screenshot. Note the (www.tmz.com) link. i think i'll dump mbin. i dunno why it's doing this.
You should add the link manually to the post. Because right now this is just an image post and it's weird.
oh, woops. forgot lol. post edited now :)
that's really really weird. strange :/
