Proposed Missoula DUI Law Just Another Assault on Liberty

Benjamin Franklin painting by Jean Baptiste Refusing a breath test in Missoula would be charged as a misdemeanor with a first offense fine of $300 if Councilman Dave Strohmaier has his way. The councilman convened a DUI panel to talk during a recent Public Safety and Health Committee meeting. Councilman Strohmaier chairs the committee. One of the ideas that emerged was making refusal of blood or breath tests a misdemeanor and the city attorney's office moved quickly on a draft.

 

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Benjamin Franklin
