Phoenix DUI Shaming Website – Track AZ DUI Penalties

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

The Maricopa County Attorney’s website stopduiaz .com has some interesting and valuable information for those arrested for DUI in Scottsdale, Peoria, Gilbert, Glendale and Tempe. It shows each person who has pled guilty or who has been found guilty, along with their name, picture and the sentence they received.  These are for misdemeanors.

The website also features selected vehicular felonies and their prison sentences.

What the website does not tell us is if, or how much jail time, was suspended for each sentence listed.

Sheriff Joe’s DUI Chaing Gang in Phoenix, Arizona

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

,,

Interesting article quoted and linked below about DUI punishments in the Phoenix area. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is nationally famous, recognized by Larry King, and even prominent national politicians. He is currently most famous for his stance on illegal immigrants, but many people don’t know that if you get a DUI conviction in Phoenix, you will likely be jailed at his "tent city" facility. Now, you may also get to perform burials as a member of the DUI chain gang.

Quoted from http://www.pantagraph.com/articles/2007/12/14/wtf/doc475f74610ce03248652458.txt:
