From the "Nation Gone Madd" dept.
Lawrence Taylor at DUI Blog reports:
Jeff Brown was walking his bicycle -- across his own front yard -- when he was stopped by a police officer. The cop began to cite him for not having a headlight on the bike, then said, ""I smell the presence of alcohol on your breath". Jeff was stunned -- and refused to take a breath test. Result: convicted of drunk driving -- with four days in jail, a 6-month driver's license suspension and a criminal record.

So Jeff decided to appeal...and started looking into why the Ohio
Legislature in 2004 had changed the drunk driving laws from driving
motor vehicles to include operating such "vehicles" as golf carts, lawn
mowers, farm tractors and bicycles - and from driving on public roads
to include driving on your own private property. He found the reasons
for the new laws were based on supposed fatality figures from MADD and
the federal government....figures which are, to say the least,
deceptive. Jeff's film does an exceptional job of analyzing the
fraudulent manipulation of these "statistics".
