Scarlet letter

Saturday both Albuquerque newspapers — The Albuquerque Journal and The Albuquerque Tribune — published photos of 180 people found guilty of drunken driving in local courts during June, July and August. It was quite an array.

The first thing everyone did, of course, was look to see whom they knew. Then the comparisons. There appeared to be at least one man arrested (and convicted) more than once. And sisters arrested, but on different dates.

What NewMexiKen found interesting was the blood alcohol content, which was listed for those who agreed to the test. Point-oh-six appears to be the level for conviction (at least for minors). There were some listed all the way up to .30. Funny thing was, the higher the BAC the better the mug shot. Still high I guess.
