New OVI (DUI) case. I explain that for second offense it's a mandatory 10 day jail minimum, and that I won't lie to him it's going to be hard.

10 days? It can't be that hard to last ten days in prison, can it? That isn't even two weeks.

Also if you refuse the blow test there's a 1 year mandatory suspension of license.

If convicted, or just for refusing? If the latter, what the hell?

Further, several judges will actually increase the sentence if you refuse the blow test and are found guilty, but it really does vary by the judge (magistrate but whatever, I'm not confusing the guy with that right now).

That seems unconstitutional. If you have the right to refuse the test, choose to exercise it, and are later punished for it, aren't your rights under the EPC violated? It's like increasing someone's sentence for not talking to the police and then getting convicted.

Also you really need to get into AA or something.

AA is actually fairly ineffective and was started by a guy who wanted everyone to replace alcohol with Jesus.

That's a stupid strategy, Jesus is an alcoholic's best friend! He can turn all that boring water into delicious habit-prolonging wine.

If people get lovesick, does that make love a disease? or would that be more like love poisoning?

[Criptfeind]

I'm pretty sure it is closer to a poison.

[MrWillsauce]

Only if that love is with someone of the same sex.

That was a joke by the way

Ten days in jail is a boring vacation. That guy is a wuss.

Just for refusing.

It probably is. It doesn't matter much, because the whole system does it, and you can't fight the whole system.

AA is incredibly ineffective for an atheist like me. It makes me want to drink because everyone's all 'God this' and 'Pray that.'

That was excellently done.

I guess it would depend on what kind of prison it was. If they're shipping him to maximum security, ten days could be pretty terrifying, but medium or minimum shouldn't be that difficult to survive in.

Just for refusing.

Then that is an extrajudicial punishment and very unconstitutional.

It probably is. It doesn't matter much, because the whole system does it, and you can't fight the whole system.

You can if you get a Supreme Court review on the matter, which could be difficult as it relies upon proving a bias levied by lower judges.

It occurs to me that courts can order you to attend AA, which as it is an organization with a religious bent violates the Establishment Clause.

Why in the world are there so many unconstitutional things surrounding DUI procedure?
