View Full Version : Drunk Drivers~This one almost got away!
I had two close friends killed by a drunk while in high school so I have no use for them.
This story is about a kid that killed a woman and nearly got away with it due to officials covering up for him as Daddy was a PA state police officer.
Turned out after 3 years when they checked the hospital records his BA was
.149 two hours after the head on crash. He also hit and ran his own car two hours before and it was reported. 5 witnesses reported his erratic driving at the scene to police yet nobody took his BA or suspected him???
Big time cover up here.
I would want anyone even connected with this case out of office or fired!

Funny how THAT works.
On 8 Nov. 2000, 12 y.o. Courtney Sconce was kidnapped, raped, strangled to death and her body was left along side the Feather River. The perp was already in trouble for child porn trafficking. LEO's had already done the investigation, been to the house and had all the evidence they needed. BUT, Daddy was an Assistance Federal District Attorney. But they couldn't cover up what he did to Courtney a short time later. Had they taken care of the jerk she would still be alive.
google Courtney Sconce. It's all there.

The guy has been charged. Most likely because of pressure from the television show.

Unfortunately there are many people out there with very little regard for others in any way what so ever. I am currently laid up in bed with a broken ankle due to being hit while riding my motorcycle. The car did not even stop. My guess is that he was drunk enough to hit me and sober enough to run away.
This occurred at about 1:30AM on the 4th of July while on my way home from work. I now have a nice stainless steel plate and ten screws in my ankle, and this guy is still out there. While I can not blame law enforcement or our criminal justice system for this situation, I do think that the penalties for drunk driving should be harsher than what they are.
There are still far too many people out there that think it's OK to go to the bar for a few after work and then drive home. Until the penalties are enough to prevent this kind of thinking, we are not doing enough.

There is nothing I hate more than a drunk driver. I don;'t even consider drunk drivers to be human. I refer to them as "things", In any even when a lowlife drives drunk it's spitting on my life and the lives of decent people. It is showing no regard for me, my life, the lives of my friends, or family.
As far as I am concerned the laws against drunk drivers is not strict enough. One single drunk driving conviction should get the lowlife a life in prison sentence with absolutely no parole. Lock the pieces of garbage up and throw away the key.
Oh and this goes for anyone I know. If ever I catch a friend or acquaintence driving drunk they are no longer my friends. Drive drunk just once and I consider you a peice of junk.
It's funny to me that we tolerate this type of thing here.
Don't get caught driving under the influence in most countries of Europe as the penalties are very severe.

I agree also ,however not to be predudicial, lets say impaired drivers in general.
Alcohol is not the only cause of negligence in driving.

Putting these people in jail DOES NOT solve anything. Neither does the breathalyzers some courts have ordered for habitual drunk drivers. Make them register as drunk drivers, just like sex offenders. Then REVOKE, NOT SUSPEND, REVOKE their driving privileges for life. Tack on an ongoing fine where the courts will take about 2-3% of each and every single paycheck they earn for the rest of their lives. Then make them go to weekly sessions with drunk driving victims and make them listen to the horror stories over and over. You start doing this to drunk drivers and I guarandamntee you that problems with drunk driving will virtually disappear!
Another solution, allow sober drivers to legally run a drunk driver off the road, shoot them and rid the world of the POS.

Good point! Lets do what I suggested in my last post to all impaired drivers!

You can say that again! The girl that almost killed me was distracted by tuning her car radio. :o Maybe that should be a warning to all of us ! :eek:
I quit using a mobile in my car years ago when I about ran through a "T" intersection while tuning my 2 meter rig . I only took my eyes off the road for "a few seconds" but that was long enough to almost cause a serious 1 and possibly multiple vehicle accident !
Keep your mind on what you are doing!

In NYC the NYPD will seize your car if you are caught driving drunk, in addition to fining you and throwing you in jail.
Maybe other police departments should follow suit.

That's all fine and dandy, but it doesn't hurt them long term. I really think the ongoing fine will be a serious deterrent. Nobody likes paying the taxes we have to now, imagine if there was a chance they'd take an additional 2-3% and all you had to do to avoid it is not drink and drive.

Do you lose it permanently, or is it just impounded?

I believe you lose it permanently.

The Mayor continued, "The Police Department will also be stopping cars and looking for motorists who may be impaired at undisclosed DWI checkpoints in all five boroughs. If you are drinking and driving and the Police Department stops you, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and your car may be seized -- permanently. New York City's successful DWI car seizure initiative has prevented numerous senseless tragedies and is helping to save more and more lives everyday. By cooperating with the Police Department, all New Yorkers can help keep our City safe and enjoyable this holiday season."

Lots of venom for the DWI driver. Not much mention of the reason why it took 3 years to get the charges filed.
Speaking of which, is there a statute of limitation on this kinda thing? You know, had they not caught this, he might have got away with it.
I hope his Daddy who swept it under the rug is out of a job too. I'm more ticked about the dishonesty and the allowance of this by the officer who swore to protect the public, personally. Both crimes deserve punishment, but I find the cops crime to be worse.
Probably because if he'd do this for him, you have to wonder what other wrongs have been committed under oath to the public he serves.

Mostly a good idea, but the law wont allow it.:eek:

Sure it does. You just gotta keep em in. Give em life in prison with no parole for a drunk driving offense. When the lowlifes are locked in the cage for good they won't be out driving drunk.
I believe you lose it permanently.
Glad to see NYC is doing it right!! Too bad they're one of the few.

I agree completely. Daddy should serve more time than little Johnny on this one.
