Stung by your own law

An man living in Austin, Tx named Mike Krusee is the chairman on the Texas House Transportation Committee and a member of the Texas House Judiciary Committee helped push through the "Driver Responsibility Program" that calls for extra fines and fees for first time DUI offenders.

Well this man was arrested and charged with Driving While Intoxicated in Texas. If he is convicted he will face 180 days in jail and a $4000 fine ($1000 of which is because of the extra fine due to the "Driver Responsibility Program").

I think this is hilarious. A man pushes through legilation for extra punishment for a crime that even he can abide by.

Viva Liberty!
