Cars are generally confined to roadways or other passable areas. Fired bullets are constrained by gravity only. Most motor vehicles move at less than 130 mph; well below the speed of sound. If you have heard a firearm, the round is already past you or you are already struck. I am not even going to start on the doctrine of Intent, much less Transferred Intent. Your analogy is simple-minded.

His analogy was meant to show that if you do something negligent (driving drunk, or shooting a bullet in a random direction) many, many times in a row, then eventually something bad will happen. That is exactly what his analogy accomplished. Then you, pretending that you have some superior intellect, point out completely irrelevant facts about bullets being supersonic and under the influence of gravity as if that somehow disproves his point.

[@donaldstewart8342]

In Wisconsin, first-time offenders usually do not face jail time unless they had a passenger under the age of 16 in the vehicle or injured someone. A second offense will carry a minimum sentence of five days and a maximum of six months. A third offense carries a minimum sentence of 45 days and a maximum sentence of one year in jail. A fourth offense is a felony with a potential for up to six years in prison and a lifetime driver’s license revocation if committed within 15 years of the third offense. Seventh and subsequent offenses carry mandatory long prison sentences.

Depends on how you find lenient. By the third you are facing 2-10 years and it’s a felony. After you get a 4th your labeled a habitual offender. A family member of mine served 5 years of a 12 year concurrent sentence for 2 back in 07-12. If he gets another one he could be looking at up to a life sentence with a min of 15 before parole which would be a life sentence at his age.

@@txtchjmb29 New Mexico will allow you to get 6-7 DUIs before it becomes a 3rd degree felony. In contrast, Texas has enhancement penal codes so a 4th or 5th DUI can be a 2nd degree felony with up to 10+ years in prison. It’s interesting because most sites measure harshness and strictness by the basic laws but it would appear to me that the enhanced charges are what carry the biggest punishments…

[@515ventures3]

17 DWI Convictions??????? This is what you call a failed justice system!!!! After 2-3 DWI's, you should never be able to get a drivers license again!!!!

[@jamesk0ua]

Well, he didn't have a drivers license, and probably has not had one for some time. That does not prevent a person with keys to a working automobile from slithering behind the wheel of the auto and cranking it up and driving down the road.

[@515ventures3]

@@jamesk0ua that’s true

[@raej1307]

This reflects a complete and total failure by the DOJ. We the people deserve to be protected from individuals like this. SEVENTEEN. I can't even imagine ... Shame on those who allowed this to happen, first and foremost, this man himself. SMDH.

[@tombstonefpv9053]

I swear every person that gets stopped for DUI has a lame leg. Someone needs to research this and find the correlation.

[@purfecly_impurfec]

Ya..didn't he say "broken ankle"? Wouldn't he have a cast for that? And if in fact, cuz I know someone will bring this up, if in fact he didn't go to the doctor, then how does he know if it's broken or not? Only a doctor can factually say it's broken. Just sayin.

[@kittyfan]

@@purfecly_impurfec if he can step on it....which he seems to be doing...it's not broken. Unless he's knocked a chip off a small bone. in which case it's not really broken. All the best to you!.

[@sowhat599]

17 DWI convictions tells you the system is not working. These people get off with just a slap on the wrist and they're right back doing what they do best. Drive intoxicated...🤷

[@FlawlessRevelation]

It is crazy that he has more DWIs than years of maturity.

[@nicholasplotnick3673]

Like I always say, its amazing how tough people become once the cuffs are on

[@lovepet4565]

He needs to be locked up Period.

[@michaelpatrick]

17 dui convictions, I would be practicing those tests everyday in my garage lol

[@c.s.7266]

17!! That's so, so sad 😢

[@oralearamsey7377]

First off I want to say that I truly appreciate your channel. It is very important to see how well the majority of NM officers perform their jobs with patience and goodwill. It is sad that the leaders of our law enforcement agencies won't allow the television crews to film. What are they afraid the public will see? If the body cams aren't distracting how can an extra camera distract them? I understand that things can sometimes go sideways but for the most part our cops are just as professional as anybody's.

[@cynthiareid2069]

17 ! How is he not in jail ?

[@JGiovanniR24]

The fact that he has failed this proves 17x is either an indication that he drives drunk way to frequently or may have physical impairment issues. I wonder what is BAC is

[@darrellwilliams9850]

17 DUI’s what is he doing on the streets. Goes to show the court system is corrupt

[@deuteronimus750]

With 17 DUI's he should have habitual offender status and be doing prison time.

[@user-jq9oo2tx8i]

Evidently, the justice system either can’t or won’t do anything about this until his negligence actually kills someone. I’ve seen a few videos where repeat DUI/DWI/OVI offenders have received hefty sentences (a few even life) but it appears as if those cases are few and far between.

[@lorijefferson1833]

How do you even have 17 DUI,s and still they keep letting him out to put more lives in danger? It's just sickening.

[@optitom9033]

If you have a chance please read my post, thanks

[@AbelieverofourLord]

Wow, after 17 DWIs he should be able to instruct the officers on the FST

[@purfecly_impurfec]

You beat me to it!!😂

[@Armistead_MacSkye]

SEVENTEEN DUIs. He needs a decade or so in prison.

[@daveward1484]

His license should be permanently revoked and he should serve 2 or 3 years in prison.

[@dansherwood9851]

20-30 years in prison.

[@optitom9033]

If you have a chance please read my post, thanks

[@davidgriffin14]

It makes no sense that if you are to poor to pay a ticket they suspend your license, the third time you get caught its a felony and you get 5 years in prison. But you can get 17 DUIs and still be allowed to drive.

[@xmateinc]

Yea this is America where its not about justice, but money.

[@mariaharrison7228]

As the courts are being ridiculous so will I. I hope he recieved his Gift Basket for his 17th, thats a big milestone, he should not be denied his Gift Basket just because some arrests were out of state!

[@Copeandseethe822]

What are we doing with our justice system when someone can rack up 17 dwi charges?

[@optitom9033]

If you have a chance please read my post, thanks

[@MW15962]

17 dwi's and still not incarcerated. The fact that this serial drunk driver is able to continue to endanger other road users is an indictment of the courts failings, not just those of the driver.

[@doltbezoar]

He should be assigned to drive only the legislators, DA, and judges for a year. Good luck with that.

[@BriteLake]

Another example of the judicial system gone awry. 17 DWI convictions and he's still out causing havoc on society.

[@kurtkaster5666]

Considering that DWI could mean Driving While Incapable of not killing other drivers, maybe every 5 or 10 convictions should result in a lengthy prison sentence. Real time in prison. By itself a DWI may not warrant prison, but when you do it 5,10, 15 times, clearly the deterrents in place don't do $hit!

[@optitom9033]

If you have a chance please read my post, thanks

[@detangojet]

DUI’s should be like felonies. 3 strikes you go away for a long time. Strike 1, heavy fines, loss of license for a year, mandatory classes. Strike 2, mandatory year in jail. Strike 3, mandatory 5 yrs in jail, loss of license for good. Something along those lines if enforced by the courts, may have an impact.

[@dansherwood9851]

Absolutely!

[@mariaharrison7228]

Totally agree.

[@optitom9033]

If you have a chance please read my post, thanks

[@Dgafsranger]

It's actually something along those lines where I live and it doesn't stop anything people still get arrested for it all the time it's sad people won't just learn and stop driving drunk

[@detangojet]

@@Dgafsranger it is pretty amazing no matter the penalty or how many options there are to not drink and drive, it continues. Maybe a mandatory year in jail for first offense would do it.

[@Koolneen]

What!! This is so outrageous it’s hard to believe!! He shouldn’t even be walking among us…it’s discouraging even.

[@rosemaryus-ct6151]

if he broke his ankle a few weeks ago he'd still be in a cast. he's lying.

[@christinecupic6871]

I’m sure the officer knows this! these officers are smart!

[@jaygreentree4394]

Its funny how they always get so tough once the cuffs come out.

[@LindaTuttleat1140]

Why is this animal allowed outside prison walls?? He is a dangerous weapon and needs to be locked away. 1 is too much but 17? The judge handling the case should be taken out of office

[@xombies]

That's because we have a piece of shit horse-mouthed governor who believes in setting people free rather than holding them accountable. All she's worried about is the amount of money she can keep in the state's coffers (which, by the way, is full of money because of the oil & gas industry, which she vehemently opposes yet has no issues receiving the money from), and more people in prison means that number goes down. She's a wicked ass crook.

[@IkarusKommt]

DUI is not a crime.

[@micheleameywolfe5482]

That's absolutely ridiculous! I remember in the 1980s a guy my father knew who had a bunch of prior drunk driving convictions got charged for the 8 or 9th time and the judge gave him a lifetime ban from obtaining a driver's license. That was in British Columbia and banned him from obtaining a driver's license anywhere in Canada (most of his prior convictions had been in Ontario, with the latter few in BC).

[@aaltobellis]

This man should be a pro at these tests

[@kittyfan]

great minds! That's what i first thought...yet he still didn't seem to know the tests. Half the exercise is whether you can follow simple instructions. Cheers!

[@motownbaby6146]

17 DWI convictions, only in America 😖

[@robgeorge4752]

17 DWI's and he's still allowed to drive , that's crazy. America is going down the toilet.

[@kimtillman5683]

Why is this man even out of prison? How in the world does anyone get 17 DWI’s and still get to walk the streets as a free person is mind boggling…MADD should really hear about this one.This is very disturbing,there is a judge & a prosecutor out there that needs to go to prison also.

[@konasmom2457]

17 DWI really? His ass should be in Prison 😡😡

[@pinkchaos.]

I used to go to AA when I was with my ex husband because he was an alcoholic, and I knew some old timers there that had 8 OUIs and weren’t in jail, but 17??

[@baja27100]

17 dwi’s 🤯the judges and DA’s responsible for him not being in prison should be arrested and prosecuted as codefendants.

[@1111mort]

How in the HELL is someone with 17 DUI’s still on the road? Unbelievable.

[@Oliviaandtrina]

You'd think after 17 he'd learn not to do fields but that would require some intelligence I suppose.

[@jjohnston326]

This is an excellent cop. He handled this stop like Andy Griffith would've.

[@razorsharpbt124]

This is a failure of the system when this is allowed to occur. This man should be in prison.

[@richsims6870]

I had a younger brother who had 9 dui's, he spent close to 6 years in prison. He would start drinking at 7 a.m and he 3 weeks ago died at 51. I'm not missing him because he embraced the leader of Germany from 1933 to 1945.

How is this guy not in prison

[@betsybabf748]

He's being held without bail since this arrest. His DWIs were in various states. He moves around to avoid jail time, but it caught up with him.

[@Koolneen]

He has no fear, no worries, he’s been here 17 frickin times!

[@usernamemikebale]

Im usually biased against police officers but i would like to commend all involved here for the way this whole encounter was handled. Feel good knowing this was the kind of training that one was receiving

[@tkenglander6226]

You're usually biased AGAINST police officers, why? I'm usually biased in their favor - until and unless a police officer is shown to be corrupt, a criminal or used excessive force in their work. As far as I know, the majority of cops are good people who went into the profession to help people or because a relative was a cop, etc.

[@usernamemikebale]

@tkenglander6226 Yes usually against officers, but at least I'm aware of it. I try not to be prejudice and judge them as a person. I appreciate a good cop even more than I dislike a bad one. It may be because negative videos get more attention than positive ones and maybe I watch things that reinforce my already held beliefs as well (I know that's common). But I guess my experiences with law enforcement has almost always been negative. Even when I had nothing to do with why they were called but was just witnessing. I have had one good experience with law enforcement that I always mention when talking about this. And people who really want to help others I think everyone appreciates but I think the majority of humans have a tendency to want to help others but unfortunately that doesn't always go well. The leader of nazi germany thought he was the savior of his homeland and ends justified the means but look at how the country that once adored him views that stain now. A long way of saying outcome doesn't always align with intent. And yeah it's definitely common to do what your parents did but that doesn't automatically make you a good fit for it or a moral person either for that matter. But I feel like in my personal experience and from videos I have watched it seems like a majority quickly loose sense with being a civilian. They act superior to anyone who is not their professional superior. When called, making an arrest benefits the department and if there is any justifiable means in the law to make one it will be made even if most people would feel a sense of injustice as a witness. If you try to stand up for your rights they will belittle you and ask you if you went to law school while at the same time holding you accountable to the law which you are supposed to know as a citizen. Many of them indulge in & abuse the power their position of authority gives them. It gives them a high and often situations are escalated unnecessarily to obtain that high. Especially when there is not a legitimate threat posed to the officer because at the end of the day everyone wants to go home safe. Anything else is just a bonus and people lives are inconsequential to them. But again I'm aware of this bias and try not to be prejudice of individuals regardless of their profession and try to give people the benefit of the doubt initially and I have had one good personal experience with a law enforcement individual and maybe I reinforce my own beliefs with what i watch but the unfortunate truth is that the majority of what I have seen and experienced has not been positive. And I could honestly probably write just as much as I just did or more on getting into problems with the justice system, which I honestly think is one of, if not the best in the world but that obviously doesn't mean there are no flaws. And while getting a dui or something isn't the end of the world and may be deserved and in the best interest of the individual and the public I do feel like are many instances in which the system is harmful to an individual that honestly shouldn't be in it in the first place.
