They may not get a home loan because of what they did they may not get a job because of what they did.
The only way everyone will know what they did is if they are required to register as a convicted drunk driver.
In certain states, Iowa is one of them, convicted sex offenders are required to register & can not live within a certain distance of any school, daycare or public place where childern congegrate. The ACLU is pissed about this but to ****ing bad, this is one law I agree with & support.
Maybe a convicted drunk driver, whether their actions killed someone or not should be required to register & can not live within so much distance of anywhere that sells or serves alcohol.
