Drunk drivers on Twitter

Posted on December 26, 2009 by Marek

If you’re a stupid driver who got into a car after drinking and was caught by police you’re unlucky. Of course, not only because you pay the price, but also – if you live and the U.S. state of Texas – have a chance to eat a shame and a hangover include a double morality.

Prosecutor in Montgomery County, Texas, Brett Ligon decided to give drunk drivers a lesson and promised that everyone will read about himself caught in his profile on Twitter. Prosecutor depends on the fact that drunk drivers – in addition to the penalties provided by law – have been publicly humiliated.

It is not working quite innovative, because it happens that a drunk driver are published in the media, but Twitter will be used for the first time.

Interested in the activities of the U.S. attorney would refer to his profile on Twitter.
