I'm in two minds.

Mind 45%; could it result in the person and/or their family being targeted?

Mind 55%; yeeeah fuck that guy, double fucking standards, do the crime, so the time/public humiliation.

Who is going to worry about my family if I'm an idiot who gets arrested for DUI?

What do you mean by double standard? If it happened to me or you we wouldn't be identified publicly.

Holding cops to a higher standard is admirable but there are plenty of examples of where they aren't even held to the same standard so perhaps we should be fixing that first?
