Ignition Interlock — a DUI Prevention Tool With Questionable Popularity
Every Lightsaber Ignition & Retraction
Every on-screen lightsaber ignition in movie chronological order. For retraction it's the reverse order. I only put in clips where you can see the lightsaber ignite/retract and not just hear it. Also only put in clips where the lightsaber is intentionally ignited/retracted. Total hours to complete: 6 I used FCP for the editing/compression and did some color correction in After Effects.

Perhaps Mr. Gib should do a bit more research on the decreased recidivism rates directly resulting from using Ignition Interlock Devices. The statistics are documented. Feel free to review materials posted at the following sites for more factual information: http://www.icadts2007.org/scientific/iiis_symposium.html or http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/injury/alcohol/DWIOffenders/pages/IncapVeh.htm
The percentage of people going \\\"around\\\" the device is acutally quite low- especially when compared to the the number of lives saved by the thousands operating the device correctly.
First of all, let me compliment you on your document that has taken on a lot seemingly interlocking issues and points of view and have clearly presented an argument that when broken down as you have only require simple logic and common sense to grasp the concepts and determine that they system is unfair.
In my case, I received my most recent DUI on March 30, of 2006. I still had another DUI conviction on my record from 6 years & seven months so what am I guilty of. Another 5 months and this DUI would not have been bundle into the first arrest. Yet I am treated as if I was arrested for both crimes within the same year and this is what I believe what you are referring to in your point of fairness.
In addition, I do agree with your assessment of the Police and how they attend training, paid for by the taxpayers, that actually teach the officers to word their reports that are designed to protect the police officers regardless of weather proper procedure was followed or in many cases brutality is used but if not for the unexpected camera-phone video, thee instances never get reported. If fact quite often they add up to more charges such as assault or resisting arrest for the person taken into custody.
This is a classic case of the fox watching the hen house. Since (purposely) no procedures are in place to insure accuracy of incident, the cops will always distort the events as they happened sometimes to leading to false charges and even perjury.
I need help with another issue, My DUI took place in March of 2006. I have met or exceeded every criteria requirement required by the State of Michigan (Macomb County) I have done the following:
· Attended and completed full rehab and upon leaving I received a positive referral and discharge papers.
· I attended 90 AA meetings in 90 days. Continued to actively attend AA meetings although the frequency had dropped several times per week during from May 2006 through the middle of 2007. Currently attend AA meetings approximately once per month.
· I secured a sponsor
· I have been meeting with a alcohol physiatrist every two weeks for the past 2 1/2 years.
· I have complied with all court ordered requirements as terms of my probation.
· Early discharge from probation
· Successfully completed Alcohol Education Series through Eastwood Clinic
· During this down time I completed and received a MBA degree from Ferris State University.
· Have not had a drink since March 2006.
Is there any possible way to get a full license re-instated without having to install an interlock system in my vehicle? I believe that under Michigan law, the need for an interlock system is not mandatory yet is the judgment call of the official hearing my request. Does anyone have information related to my cause? Thanks
