Isn't getting arrested for a non accident DUII like being arrested for thinking about committing a crime?

Lets face it talking on a cell phone while driving causes more accidents and has been proven more dangerouse then someone with a bac of.08

No. You drink and drive and it's only a matter of time. I dream of murdering my boss regularly. I'll never do it. I agree about the cell phones, though.

Both situations should be illegal. I agree with you about people with cellphones being more dangerous on the road though-they're also the same annoying people who don't turn them off when they go into movie theaters.

Aw, tough luck, buddy.

DUI IS a crime, no matter what your argument may be. Just don't drive if you drink. It is really that simple.

anyone that believes that should be banned for life

In theory, I actually agree with you. However, getting behind the wheel with any alcohol in your system is a potentially very hazardous situation. The real solution here is to ban cell phones while driving (as they have in some states and countries).

THEY ARE NO WAY RELATED. THINKING ABOUT COMMITTING A CRIME IS THE THOUGH OF DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE NOT ACTED ON. BEING ARRESTED FOR DUI IS A CRIME. I AGREE CELL PHONE SHOULD BE BAND FROM THE DRIVER OF ALL MOVING VEHICLES,IN EVERY STATE, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. SO IS DRINKING AND DRIVING I SPEAK FROM EXPERENCE. THANK GOD I NEVER KILLED MYSELF OR GOD FORBID HURT OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE.

No, dearheart...THINKING about things doesn't get you POTENTIALLY in the 'mode' to hurt someone. Not to where anyone can SEE it anyway. It all has to do with the act/behavior being premeditated or not. We all have CHOICES, and usually our "mistakes" are caused by our choices.

Like DUIs are caused by a CHOICE to drink...and if a cop arrests someone (gives someone a DUI ticket) because they are DRUNK and could potentially hurt someone (even themselves)... that peace officer is removing this person from the venue where you or I could be hurt or killed by them.
THINKING about something ...for GAWD'S SAKE in the first place...if we read everyone's MIND...WHAT A DARK, EVIL, SICK PLACE WE'D BE IN...
'ever see the movie "The Crow"....when his adversary came into his (Bruce Lee's) rhelm, the world turned dark; THAT's how it would be if everyone's mind could be read (seen). euuuuuuuuu (I don't ever want to live there)

In the second place, IN THE REAL WORLD....how is someone suppose to know what someone is thinking??? Even if a cop did that and claimed he had the power to...there'd be the Civil Liberties Union down on him so fast... (not to mention a few others!---you get the idea!)

No! You were just lucky there wasn't an accident!
A DUI is a DUI, accident or no accident; it's still illegal.
