Drunken Driving

Another focus for Safe Streets Louisville is drunken driving. While the Jefferson County attorney's office reports a ninety-five percent (95%) conviction rate for the 3,300 people arrested in 2006 for drunken driving, it is noteworthy that the severity of the convictions lacks much to be desired. We want to thank the prosecutors and the judges for the convictions. We ask that the offense be taken much more seriously and the penalties be harsher.
