in legal practice would argue that a case in a court of law is only won on the basis of evidences and witnesses. But those people don’t mention logic; because they sub-consciously take logic for granted; as you would take a premise understood in an enthymeme. Many scholars, both inside and outside the field of law argue that law’s today are the result of years’ of experience and observation and try to keep law outside the scope of logic. The aim of this study is to dispel any ignorance of principles
hit a man with two tons of steel at forty miles per hour with no one else around; I was texting and driving. While I was aware of the possible consequences of texting and driving, I did not think too much about it until I collided with this man. I may not have killed the pedestrian, but the jury was unable to convict me of anything because they had no hard proof of my suspected texting and driving. The fourth amendment protects citizens from unreasonable searches or seizures, and states that no warrants
Introduction Recent laws outlawing texting while driving have become ambiguous, under-inclusive and enforce light punishments that cannot be deterred. These laws also empower the police to carry out warrantless search for the cell phone of the driver. Texting while driving is highly dangerous and people doing so must be punished strictly, license suspensions, interlock devices preventing the usage of cell phones while driving and possible jail time (Arrigo, 2014). This particular paper is an attempt
new Indiana law states that drivers under 18 years of age cannot be on a cell phone and drive at the same time. This means no texting and driving, which is reasonable considering the “Don’t Text and Drive” campaign. This law also means scrolling social media and driving is not allowed for young drivers, which is also reasonable because texting and scrolling are not much different. But this law means one additional limitation for young drivers, no talking on the cell phone while driving. A younger
Driving under the influence, driving while intoxicated, drunken driving, drunk driving, operating under the influence, drinking and driving, or impaired driving is the crime of driving a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or other drugs including those prescribed by physicians. In the case of alcohol, a drunk driver's level of intoxication is typically determined by a measurement of blood alcohol content or BAC. A BAC measurement in excess of a specific threshold level, such as 0.05% or 0.08%
Evaluate Impaired Driving Laws. Although the 2010 National Strategy encourages states to adopt per se laws, there are a lot problems should be solved. There are 17 US states with per se type drugged driving statutes which cover roughly 40% of all licensed drivers in the US, so the first problem is that while per se laws permit easier prosecution of drivers, there is a lack of uniformity among these states. For example, in North Carolina and South Dakota, the per se drugged driving law pertains only to
Technology Collides: Why Texting and Driving Don’t Mix. What laws should we have about cell phone use in cars? Mobile devices have become very popular to the point where they have had some deadly and unintended consequences. There should be more laws put in place to regulate texting while driving in order to cut back on the amount of fatal car accidents. The use of cellphones while driving should be illegal. Not only does texting while driving put the driver at risk, but it also puts the passengers
is so crucial to drunk driving. Interestingly, when considering prohibition as a tactic to prevent drunk driving or alcohol abuse in general, it is important to recall that in the early 20th century, the U.S. tried to do this on a national scale and in reality, it can only be described as a failure to the largest degree considering that it did not make the alcohol situation any better and in many cases made it worse as people turned to illegal, unregulated alcohol
comparative case study by trying to isolate specific difference between states and trying to figure out if they were relevant. In order to do this New York and Wyoming were selected as the case studies as they demonstrated the lack of evidence in support of the alternative hypothesis and their comparison led to two very interesting implication. The first highlighted the lack of influence of socio economics on drunk driving at least in terms of the effect of per capita income on the drunk driving death
be used as navigators and for quick communication. They can still lead us to car crashes and death departures in families. In most cases, cell phones being the chief culprit. Cell phone use in the car can cause brain distractions, addiction towards drivers and deteriorate driving skills. Altogether these reasons show that cell phone usage should be banned while driving, in order to prevent death and unnecessary trauma. Firstly, cell phones should be banned because they can affect our brain attention
