Drunk Driving in New Jersey? You're Better Off If You Don't Speak English.

Here's another from the "You've Got to Be Kidding Me" Department -- though, in fact, we should be getting used to these shockers by now since the proglibs who control the judiciary in America are throwing these outrageous things our way constantly!

(See Gabriel, I'm using the term "proglib" already.)

This latest offense is the decision of a New Jersey court that police officers who stop suspected drunk drivers must make sure that they explain the breathalyzer test in the suspect's native language. This can be done by taking the driver to the station and letting them hear a tape of various language explanations on a screen -- a time-taking process that, of course, gives the drunk more time to sober up than those who understand English and could have been given the test at the roadside.

Another huge problem here, as Megyn Kelly points out in this Fox News video clip, is that hauling folks down to the station because they don't understand English will likely open up New Jersey police to even more lawsuits and more charges of racism.

It will also keep officers tied up in the silly process and thus off the streets where they're needed.

The end result will be that police officers, already worn out from restrictions placed upon them when it comes to arresting drunk drivers, will tend to avoid the hassle altogether. And so the dangers to the populace of drunk drivers will get nothing but worse.

To emphasize that point, here's a print story on the situation from USA Today showing that the sleazy lawyers all around the country who thrive on protecting DUI perps are going to take the New Jersey precedent to the roads that YOU drive on...starting immediately.

Doesn't that make your day?
