Ok so the title is decieving. I was listening to the radio this morning and they where talking about how this lady, Mary, called the police on a drunk driver and when asked about it she tells the officer that she is in fact the drunk driver.

Given the audio clip was halarious and the whole situation was down right strange, I have to give the woman props for realizing she was in the wrong and made the call for help.

Now the sad thing is she is going to face jail time or atleast a 24 hour detainment before she gets to go free. Sure she was in the wrong for getting in the car in the first place but when she realized she was to impaired to drive properly she made the choice to call in and get help.

Now it is also an important fact to point out that the whole story is not all here, no one but her knows the situation when she first got into the car and decided to drive. Maybe she was still sober enough to properly operate the vehicle but while driving the remaining alcohol in her system emerged and caused her to plunge further more into a drunken state of mind.

So I am curious on your take of the turn of events. The officer clearly informs her that she will go to jail for what she has done. Is this really worth going to jail (even if it is just for detainment) over seeing she did do the right thing in the end and reported herself or should the police officer just offered to take her home.

Also even though I found it halarious in the same instance I find it odd that a the clip was released / leaked and is now made public. I figure there would be some kind of confadinuality violations there.

I will go ahead and give the link to the audio clip.

And for the record, no; I am not a drunk driver.
