"This guy must be a bad driver period. Who the hell "forces two vehicles off the road" with a mere .08 blood alcohol level?!"
Someone who doesn't drink that much and can't handle that much alcohol? I mean, I imagine she wouldn't be a very popular MADD member if she was a rabid alcoholic, even if she doesn't drive when drunk. - fivestarsoul, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31Guys you're missing it... a woman wasn't driving... thats why he said "he's a bad driver". Because it was a male cop that was given an award from MADD
- faskippy, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1O.K., drew me in with the title. But I have to say, how many of you would want to be given the benefit of the doubt? He may have just screwed up while driving. It happens. I know for sure that I couldn't pass the test where you tilt your head skyward and lift your leg. Maybe because of a previous head injury. This isn't a member necessarily of MADD. It was an officer who received an award from them. I'll wait for the outcome. Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
- faskippy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Uh, pants... RTFA. It was a guy.

- tendonut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@kmckanna
No one was saying the point of the story was that it was a cop. Thats why it didn't say COP in the title. The kicker of the story, and the entire point of it being on Digg, was because it was someone who was awarded a MADD Award. Also, the fact that it was a male was not important either. - Saccharin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10This level of irony pretty much qualifies the guy for a cabinet level position in the Bush administration.
- jun2san, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6The title is a bit misleading. I initially thought the driver was a member of MADD. I read it as an award-winning mother. In fact, its a guy cop who just recieved an award from MADD. I'd find it more ***** up if the driver was an actual member of MADD. Someone who's child actually died from a drunk driver.

MADD Award Winner Charged With DUI
CINCINNATI (AP) -- A city police officer who recently received an award from Mothers Against Drunk Driving has been charged with drunken driving, authorities said.
Specialist Charles Beebe's SUV was pulled over Wednesday in Aurora, Ind., after a motorist reported that he had forced two vehicles off the road, the arresting officer's report said. Beebe failed a field sobriety test and agreed to a chemical test.
His blood-alcohol content was 0.08 percent, the point at which a motorist is considered legally drunk in Indiana, according to the arrest report.
Beebe, 54, pleaded not guilty Thursday in Lawrenceburg, Ind., and was released on $1,500 bond.
The 32-year member of the Cincinnati Police Department received a Top Cop award this year from MADD's Southwestern Ohio chapter.
A Cincinnati police spokeswoman did not return a call seeking comment.
Aurora is about 20 miles southwest of Cincinnati.
______________________________________________________ - UncleHenry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, that's Cincinnati for ya.
- Sabarok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The big problem with DUI and the blood alcohol level, is the government is imposing a legal limit, but there's no metric for people to know where they lie. Where the legal limit is 0.08, the government is saying anything less is safe enough, but how are we supposed to know when we've crossed that line? How many beers does it take to go over 0.08? What if it's not an American beer?
All we have to go on is our feel. Do you "feel" safe enough to drive, which leads to people driving when they think they're under the limit. The more regularly people drink, the more used to being drunk they get, the more drinks it takes them to "feel" drunk. What does 0.08 feel like? Does anyone know what 0.08 feels like?
What's needed is a way for the public to test our blood alcohol level, before getting behind the wheel and pulled over by a cop. If Bars had a way to test the blood alcohol level, you'd see the instances of DUI drop as people are shown where exactly the line is, and the red light telling them they crossed it, and the number of a taxi to take them home safely. - dogstar0125, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@sofaking812, great articles, thanks. I've always thought it was completely hypocritical that MADD was so rabidly focused on drinking drivers and not on all of the other dangerous drivers out there. Like a guy who drives home after home without incident after having a couple of drinks at a restaurant is a greater evil than a guy who drives like a reckless ***** and gets into an accident.

- Yellowcolorado, on 10/12/2007, -69/+3You cannot change man. He has never been nor will ever be perfect.
I would rather admit my shortcomings, and live with them.
I accept every time I step behind the wheel of a vehicle that I live in a dangerous and unfair world, a world in which someone can accidentally rob another of safety, causing suffering and even death, but I promise you this; I prefer it to one in which someone can unfairly rob another of liberty.
To de-cry and deny others of inalienable rights that are far more important to the society than it's security is preposterous.
Every time you engage in driving a vehicle you willingly accept that you are participating in a risk/benefit situation. "Driving is dangerous, but I want to get to my destination", is the choice you make. And yes drunk driving is dangerous, and deadly, but I am saying you should be free to make your own choices and live with your consequences. Drinking and driving should not be illegal. Getting into an accident caused by your drunkeness should. I wish all accidents never happened. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Wow! So you honestly believe that drunk drivers only hit other cars? Let me give you some astounding news: The world also has bicyclists and pedestrians!! Wow, amazing isn't it?
Accidents caused by drinking should be illegal? Why not make ALL accidents illegal? Getting drunk and then causing an 'accident' is actually called negligence.

Oh I'm sorry... I didn't know that you can't be hit by a drunk driver if you aren't in a car. How silly of me. May the next time there's a hit and run we should blame the pedestrian for "engaging risk" in walking on the sidewalk.

- gak001, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 was passed because of heavy lobbying efforts from MADD. I'm against drunk driving - and let's be honest, who isn't? But MADD is a ridiculous organization trying to restrict our rights and liberties - they are enemies of freedom and unAmerican. They misconstrue the facts or just plain lie. Check out Wiki or google underage drinking - educate yourself, don't let these commie bastards continue their evil work.
- scispaz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11More importantly. Remember we are sending 18 year olds to Iraq who can't legally drink when they come home to visit. The drinking age was dropped to 18 during Vietnam since if you are old enough to die for your country, you should be able to drink there.
- dbalaski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I agree --
MADD is over the top:
They Fought the Liquor Sales on Sunday in Connecticut (ie Purchasing from a store to bring home)...
CT is loosing money to NY, MA, & RI, all of whom allow Sunday carry-out Liquor Purchases.
From MADD's CT website: http://www.madd.org/chapter/0900_2768
"MADD CT was firmly against Sunday Sales of Alcoholic Beverages and the Extension of Hours of Sale of Alcoholic Beverages as a deterrent to minor sales. MADD CT was disappointed to hear of the extension of sale hours to 9 p.m"
(ed note: CT used to have Liquor stores open until 8PM M->Sat)

Okay -- so if you don't want to drive to a neighboring state to purchase a six-pack, you have to go to a Bar and drink (and most likely drive there and back) ..

I deal every day in this. I talk to police officers every day and their happy to take you to the hospital for a blood test just to impress the boss and get a good grade at their tyranny school. Many cops aren't happy with their jobs but they don't know any better. MADD made it their focus to put people in jail for a medical problem. It's not criminal unless you hurt someone. If a life is at stake, send them to jail for life but don't blame the .08ers for all of the world's problems. You'd be much better off thinking about REAL ID or GPS or RFID. Get real. Why does this stay on the front page when at least 70 percent of you booze to the legal limit?
I wish you peace, Unstructured Style from Detroit.
Adam- AnteChronos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"MADD made it their focus to put people in jail for a medical problem. It's not criminal unless you hurt someone."
While alcoholism is, indeed, a medical problem, no one's going to jail just because they're drunk. And Drinking and driving is criminal. Period. It's not okay "unless you hurt someone". Otherwise, it'd be fine to randomly fire a gun in a crowded area, as long as you didn't hurt anyone.
"Why does this stay on the front page when at least 70 percent of you booze to the legal limit?"
Because the rest of us don't ***** *drive* after we've been drinking. I have enough regard for my own safety, and the safety of others, that I'll make sure that I won't *have* to drive if I plan on drinking. And if I have no way to get home and no place to crash, I won't drink.

Drink and drive- even though it's encouraged to do so on every corner throughout the land you get county/state jail at 18 years old and it's going to cost you, the taxpayer, 30,000 tax dollars per year conservatively for something that could be treated like heroin(a drug and medical problem.)

This organization has taken the drunk driving issue too far... I don't think we need to go back to the days when you had to be drunk out of your mind to get so much as a ticket, but I don't think that you should be fined for driving after drinking 3 or 4 beers. - harrier666, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I'm trying to figure out if all the morons here who can't read far enough to figure out it was a male are misogynists determined to think it had to be a female or just ***** idiots. Probably both.
- Meheren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That had to be REAL embarrassing.
- JJsays, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Bet he wishes he hadn't lobbied so had to make those DWI laws tougher... HAHAHAHA sorry mother *****. DWI laws should be thrown out because of the influence this organization had on creating them.
Americans should not be nailed to the wall for a crime where nobody was hurt. You can do that when they hurt someone. - mojibyrd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The concept of MADD is a noble one of course, but one needs to look at the bigger picture of this organization to get to the truth, did you know:
1. That Madd is sponsored utilimately by the Rockefeller foundation, which of course is in bed with the elitists to create a NWO.
2. MADD has sponsored a program to install an alcohol level tester in every vehicle that you will have to breath into before starting your car....as they feel we are all alcoholic drivers and guilty first and prove your innocence later....Toyota Mfg is working on this project just do a search on it.
3. Alot of the funds they receive are used for nefarious purposes...go figure.
My only real point here is not to lambast the person who got caught drinking and driving as it should not occur, but more so to look at these organizations who supposedly are looking out for your rights but are actually doing the opposite....so be aware - mtaylor314, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I live in Aurora, IN. A small town of about 2000. They are notorious for pulling just about anybody over. There are "warning" signs placed under every STOP sign that reads "Complete stop: $0.00. Rolling stop: $158.50. Courtesy of Aurora Police Department" Gotta love em.
- Jeff704, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3MADD is a BS organization anyway. It's run by a bunch of paid, executive males that are against all drinking and not just drinking and driving. It's a corporation against all alcohol.
- mrcoderga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Officer pleaded "not guilty"....
Interesting... Has this officer, and his jurisdiction, also found guilty how many people with this same level of intoxication?- Heyseuss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'd like to see the follow up to see if he gets a trial and what reason/evidence they have to back up his 'not guilty' plea.
