The big political news stories about the overt fascists taking over the United States rightly get all the attention, but stories like this indicate that American culture is rotten all the way down.
[The police] identified an 18-year-old as the car’s owner. He was arrested on a warrant connected to a prior DUI charge from Denver.
What they didn’t get from the car’s owner was a confession…
“The story that was relayed to me was that the three people who were in the vehicle, all three claimed to have been too intoxicated to know who was driving,” said Johnson.
The 3 year statue of limitations was allowed to expire because the 18 year old car owner with a prior DUI claimed to be too drunk to remember if he was driving and his two friends said the same thing.
three claimed to have been too intoxicated to know who was driving
Then they can all share the same maximum punishment.
Time to cancel the concept of the designated driver, the new best way to avoid a DUI is for everyone to be so shitfaced they don’t know who drove!
In Colorado, aside from serious charges like murder or kidnapping, most felony charges have a three-year statute of limitations.
Well… That’s kinda crazy. I feel like a lot of investigations take longer than three years. Hell there’s places in the US that have like a decades worth of rape kits police are ignoring.
Do they want vigilantism?
yes. are there any people not docile enough to pursue vigilantism anywhere but on Facebook or Instagram? nope.
It’s almost like it’s by design
Well, they didn’t hurt a real person, merely a cyclist. So it’s not clear if an infraction has been committed.
