ky law makers pass the laws , but you can not get the judges to enforce them.claiming our jails are to full to house the bad guys.i am waiting to see what happens to a case close to me right now.i already have a guess of the outcome.
if there were harsher laws when it comes to drunk & drug drivers then stuff like this may not happen .don't just slap them on the wrist or 1-6 months in jail they need a year or two for thier 1st offense and so on after that you may not have so many repeat offeners that is just how if feel about that
