A friend of mine lost his daughter to a DUI driver. DUI needs to have dire consequences, especially if involved in killing/disabling others.

However, we should use the justice system to deliver the right punishment instead of condemning people to an extrajudicial, de facto life sentence in all cases. The US is too liberal with making information public, while in most countries it's almost impossible to know who had a DUI in the past.
