Enough money can ensure that each time a person is charged for DUI, it's a first offense, and may be plead down to a lesser offense.
CD.....you and I are of a similar mind in regards to checkpoints, but we'll diverge on the above statement (at least in my AO).
If I plea a DWI charge of any sort, including a DWI 2nd or Aggravated DWI down to a "basic" first offense, I am mandated NY RSA to write a letter detailing why I did so to the AG. Those letters are, by nature, open to a FOIA inquiry. Not sure I'd like to write too many of those or have a repeat offender kill someone after I pled it down and document it.
