Each state sets its own rules on penalties for drunk driving.  The Federal government has its own penalty structure.  As for whether it would be greater of lesser than the state the Federal land is in, that would depend on the state.\n\nFederal law currently has DUI penalties as:\nPunishment may not exceed six months in the federal penitentiary and the fine may not exceed $5,000.00.

It depends on the misdemeanor and the state.

It's a good question. Thanks to discretion though, it'll never happen. At school the other day, I jaywalked, but the Uinversity Police Officer right there didn't care. When I join the force, if I see somebody going 5 miles over the speed limit, unless they're in front of something like a school, or church, or daycare, I won't stop them, and if I do, I'd just give them a warning. \n\nTo answer your question, you wouldn't necissarily be in jail a lot, you'd just go bankrupt. The crimes committed by average citizens are really on minor law infractions, punishible by fine.

Do you mean DWI - hopefully, the chances are very big.  This way a hearltess drunk driver gets punished BEFORE he/she kills or maims an innocent person.

I disagree to a point.He should have been deported after the first DWI.

"NAKED HIKING ON NATIONAL FOREST LAND"\nhttp://www.theplacewithnoname.com/hiking/sections/naked/nationalforest.htm\n\n"Frequently I hear naturists make the claim, 'There is no law regarding simple nudity on Federal (National Forest Service (NFS)) land.' While that may be true on some NFS land, it isn't true on all Federal land. Also, just because there isn't a Federal law governing an activity, that does NOT mean that the activity is actually legal.\n...\nThis is based entirely within the NFS rules. Section 261.58: Occupancy and use. 'When provided by an order, the following are prohibited:' - and Being publicly nude is one of the prohibited activities. \n\nWhat does 'Being publicly nude' mean? \n\n36 CFR 261.2 Definitions \n\nPublicly nude means nude in any place where a person may be observed by another person. Any person is nude if ..."\n\n"Laws about Nudism"\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/nudism1.htm\n\n"Federal law: No federal US federal law that either allows or prohibits nudity. The courts have not ruled whether the right to engage in naturism is guaranteed by the Constitution under its freedom of expression provision. Thus, the legality of various forms of undress is currently left up to the individual states and localities to decide. Nudity is generally allowed in some areas of some national parks, unless local laws have overriding jurisdiction."

I believe your sentence/perdition/penalty would greatly depend on a few things like the state where the crime was committed, and the dollar amount of said offense.  \n\nIt might just end up being a state charge, but it has the propensity to be a federal charge too depending on the specific details and nature of the crime.

It sounds like something slipped through the cracks...the 16 year old could of been charged with DWI..all of the essential elements appear to be there. Due to the significance of the accident (children/schoobus), the primary focus was obviously on children and not the violator. All the Officer would have needed to do was to determine if the violator was "Impaired".

Someone convicted of second-degree manslaughter can face up to 2, 3, or 4 years in a state prison (according to California law, which isn't that much different from Oregon law).  Under federal law,  whoever is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, shall be fined or imprisoned not more than six years, or both.  I think the minimum is a fine; I'm not sure of the amount.\n\nSecond-degree manslaughter is also known as involuntary manslaughter, which is refers to an unintentional killing that results from recklessness or criminal negligence, or from an unlawful act that is a misdemeanor or low-level felony (such as DUI).\n\nCheck out http://public.findlaw.com/ for more law information.

Take it from an expert on getting traffic tickets of all types, the police always make the person show a driver's license, ALWAYS. If you do not have a valid driver's license with you, the police do not let you leave, they take you to jail. \nThe officer that wrote the ticket will be in court the day of the trail, if he admits that he did not check ID, the case should be thrown out.\nGood Luck

It depends on if he was convicted before.  First offense is usually 30 days in jail, a hefty fine and suspension of the driver's license.  Community service might be required as well.  \n\nOther effects can include an instant jump in insurance rates, loss of commercial driver licenses, and manditory drug/alcohol abuse counciling.

From what I understand and have been told by people who have been charged with it the state to avoid would be Nevada.They have a zero tolerance law and they can convict you for that.That is the only place that I have heard of.

Federal crime, 7-10 years. If the amount is that much then the state turns the criminal over to the feds most likely.

I think the punishments should fit the crime. You are correct that there has been stiffer sentences handed out for drugs than for violent crimes. Different states have their own interpretations of what a small amount of marijuana is, and have their own laws regarding it. For some less than an ounce for recreational use with no distribution intent charge is a petty misdemeanor while other states are quite stringent.  Bottom line though, as long as no one else was affected by their use, make the punishment fit the crime and focus on reducing violence by handing out stiffer penalties for that.

Only if they don't get caught. A Congressman from Texas, Kevin Brady, faced DUI charges last year in South Dakota. He was eventually fined $350 and barred from driving in South Dakota for a month.
