    Drunk Driving

    In most jurisdictions a measurement such as a blood alcohol content in excess of a specific threshold level, such as 0.05% or 0.08% defines the offense, with no need to prove impairment or being under the influence of alcohol. In some jurisdictions, there is an aggravated category of the offense at a higher level e.g. 0.12%. In most countries, anyone who is convicted of injuring or killing someone while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be heavily fined, as in France, in addition to being given a lengthy prison sentence. Some jobs have their own rules and BAC limits, for example commercial pilot, and the Federal Railroad Administration has a 0.04% limit for train crew. Some jurisdictions have multiple levels of BAC; for example, the state of California has a 0.08% BAC limit, which is lowered to 0.04% if the operator holds a commercial driver's license. The California BAC limit is 0.01% for those younger than 21 years of age and those on probation for a previous DUI conviction. Some large corporations have their own rules; Union Pacific Railroad has their own BAC limit of 0.02% that, if violated during a random test or a for-cause test — for example, after a traffic accident — can result in termination of employment with no chance of future re-hire.…

When you get caught committing a crime you are usually being arrested and at that point are considered to be convicted of a crime punishable by, again the stern protocols in place by the government. Well you’re not really convicted until you’ve been set in front of a judge and charged; however, unless you plan to, I don’t know say run, resist arrest or maybe attempt to escape the local prison they first escort you to process of you and your paperwork, - that is what will eventually happens. Depending on the severity of the crime you could be charged with punishment imposed accordingly. This is where Felonies and Misdemeanors come in there the type of crimes you can be charged with if arrested. “For every action there is a repercussion” that’s something my father always use to tell me. There are a lot of different crimes so servable punishment to accommodate each, felonies are the more serious category while Misdemeanors the lesser serious category.…
