Minnesota's Double-barrelled Implied Consent Law
Author: Forst Lowery
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Drunk driving
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
To ensure that a driver's license is revoked promptly when a test shows an alcohol concentration of 0.10 or more, regardless of court outcome or plea bargaining on the criminal charge, Minnesota adopted an administrative revocation law 1976, adding to the conventional implied consent revocation for refusing to take the test. This law was unique to Minnesota until 1981 when two other jurisdictions passed similar laws. In 1982 three more, and in 1983 thirteen more states established similar prompt revocation on test result systems. The author describes the Minnesota law as amended in 1982 and discusses legal and constitutional issues. Effect on apprehension rates, swiftness of sanction, deterrence and perceived risk are analyzed. The author concludes that a two-track DWI control system employing both prompt administrative driver license sanctions on one track and conventional court action on a related but not directly connected parallel criminal track enhances deterrence through more certain, swift penalty, perceived by drivers as severe.

The Senator Next Door
Author: Amy Klobuchar
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company
ISBN: 1627794182
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
One of the U.S. Senate's most candid--and funniest--women tells the story of her life and her unshakeable faith in our democracy Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar has tackled every obstacle she's encountered--her parents' divorce, her father's alcoholism and recovery, her political campaigns and Washington's gridlock--with honesty, humor and pluck. Now, in The Senator Next Door, she chronicles her remarkable heartland journey, from her immigrant grandparents to her middle-class suburban upbringing to her rise in American politics. After being kicked out of the hospital while her infant daughter was still in intensive care, Klobuchar became the lead advocate for one of the first laws in the country guaranteeing new moms and their babies a 48-hour hospital stay. Later she ran Minnesota's biggest prosecutor's office and in 2006 was the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate from her state. Along the way she fashioned her own political philosophy grounded in her belief that partisan flame-throwing takes no courage at all; what really matters is forging alliances with unlikely partners to solve the nation's problems. Optimistic, plainspoken and often very funny, The Senator Next Door is a story about how the girl next door decided to enter the fray and make a difference. At a moment when America's government often seems incapable of getting anything done, Amy Klobuchar proves that politics is still the art of the possible.
