DUI Conviction records have had a "stigma" to them for a long time.  State laws and public opinion of people with DUI conviction records have become very tough.  It is certainly not an easy thing to have to deal with.  What people don't realize in today's society is that it is very easy to get convicted of a dui or dwi.  Prominent members of your local communities are getting dui convictions every day.  The low BAC laws are making it possible to have 1 drink with dinner, drive, get busted and labeled an alcoholic.  You are indeed labeled an alcoholic by having a dui conviction record, you're made to undergo "alcohol counseling," sit through a MADD impact panel, and numerous other punishments.  Why?  Because you had a (meaning 1) glass of wine with your dinner and drove home.  Now you are an alcoholic.  

Not every dui conviction is like that, some do have problems, some do not.  Until the state governments are not rewarded financially and socially for busting people for DUI innocent people will undergo this humiliation, aggravation, and life long labeling.  In the regular court system you are innocent until proven guilty.  You have a presumed innocence.  You get the benefit of the doubt so to speak, until your peers (a jury) say otherwise (guilty verdict).  But not in a DUI case.  You are presumed guilty and you must prove your innocence.

Your license is immediately suspended after you are "charged" with DUI.  But you haven't been convicted of anything yet, right.  So why is your license gone?  Because you are presumed to be guilty.  

Most states will plead down a murder charge but not a DUI charge.  They will go "easier" on a suspected murderer than a suspected had one glass of wine and drove home didn't hurt nobody person.  Why, you ask?  Because of a little organization called MADD.  Mother's Against Drunk Driving.  They are a powerful organization in this country.  Some would argue the most powerful organization in the country.  

No one is saying that what happened to their innocent children should go unpunished.  It is very sad that anyone would have to deal with the loss of a loved one, especially a loss that should never have happened.  But how can you criminalize innocent people because of your unrelated loss?  

Is George W. Bush, our current president to blame for the loss of all the MADD women's loved ones?  He has a DUI conviction on his record.  Is he responsible for the deaths?  

No, he isn't.  He didn't kill anyone.  He acted very irresponsibly, and showed poor judgement, yes.  He should therefore be punished for irresponsibility and poor judgement, not murder.  You see whenever someone gets a DUI conviction they are treated as if they murdered every innocent person that passed on at the hands of a drunk driver.  Is that fair?  

We would say no, it's not fair, but it seems that the Organization MADD thinks it is fair and so far they are winning.  They are winning in Congress, they are winning in Washington DC, they are winning in the White House, and they are winning in each of your home states.  

DUI convictions are not positive things to have by no means, but you know what.  It should depend on the specific case as to how they are handled.

We have created a manual that can help ease the frustration of having a dui conviction.  It can help you pass employment background checks in regards to your dui conviction.  We also have a dmv manual that might be helpful as well.  Please surf around on our website and learn as much as you can.

Best wishes.
