Senator from New Port Richey proposes pink DUI plates
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) -- A Republican senator wants a law to require bright pink license plates on vehicles driven by people with restricted driving privileges due to convictions for driving under the influence.
Sen. Mike Fasano, of New Port Richey, filed a bill earlier this month that requires the first three characters on the plate to read "DUI."
"Maybe it will embarrass people and keep them from drinking and driving," Fasano said. "Maybe they'll think twice."
The bill also says police "may stop any vehicle that bears a DUI plate without probable cause to check the driver."
Look, I'm not condoning drinking and driving. But the reality is that normal, everyday people can and have made this mistake once in their lives. What this state senator wants is to remove the protection of the fourth amendment from those who have made a mistake.
I know this hasn't passed. I know that it probably won't pass. Still, the idea that this would even be proposed in seriousness bewilders me.
These people are doing their damnedest to destroy our country. Luckily for us, it looks as if they are failing.
