DUI is a pretty nasty offense but I think this sort thing is an overreaction in many cases.
Policies that do not differentiate very well between reckless drunken driving and slightly impaired driving are flawed. Minor DUI offenses (and yes there are such things) are really are not [...]
The L.A. Times has a wrenching article here
and of course there are the tribulations of others, mostly very minor offenders in Oklahoma at this link.

Texas is now tracking truant students with GPS anklets. On Fox News.
