Four years for sleeping drunk in parked car
26th January 2010
The car hadn’t been operated and it wasn’t clear that it was even operable, but Minnesota, like so many states, has a strictly worded DUI law. “Intending to sleep off a night of drinking [is] treated as the same crime as attempting to drive home under [the state’s] legal theory which does not take motive into account.”
Minnesota is, of course, one of those northern tier blue states where idiotarianism seeps down from Canada. Perhaps we could persuade them to secede.
