Go to cnn.com and check out the video DUI squad leader charged with DUI. There is some justice left, even in Utah.

3. The commander of the Utah Highway Patrol's DUI unit was arrested

DUI cop's alcohol test over the limit
By Lisa Rosetta
The Salt Lake Tribune

The commander of the Utah Highway Patrol's DUI unit - who helped draft tougher anti-drunken driving legislation last year - was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol after crashing his unmarked police cruiser into a concrete barrier in Draper.
Lt. Fred Swain was westbound on Bangerter Highway, near 400 West, about 2:25 a.m. on June 23 when he veered off the right shoulder, overcorrected and hit a concrete barrier that separates the east- and west-bound lanes, UHP Lt. Doug McCleve said.
While Swain said he fell asleep at the wheel, officers suspected he had been drinking, said Draper police Sgt. Scott Peck.
Swain, 41, declined medical attention several times and said it wasn't necessary for him to contact his UHP supervisors about the crash, said Peck.

5. Ahhh yes, another example of the pot calling the kettle black!
This guy must be a real jerk! It's like Rush saying all druggies should go to jail for life, or the gay congressman arguing and voting against gay rights, or 1,000 other examples of offenders slamming everyone else, but NOT THEM!

All I heard on the video was that "If he's found guilty, he could loose his job!" Well, I hope that was an understatement! There should be a lot tougher penalty for this guy who couldn't use his brain!
