We let officials with speeding tickets and DUI's officiate. It has been 17 years, how long does he have to "pay for his crimes?"

The problem is we have convinced ourselves that we need to be afraid of everything. When I was growing up we would be exposed to all kinds of things and no one was up in arms. Now we think a background check is going to prevent kids from being violated any more than the guy that has never been caught. I agree we all should know things about people's criminal background, but why is a DUI much better than crimes with drugs or sexual offenses? Just goes to show this country has much hypocrisy that will never be admitted to.

Fine and/or prison are not the only way certain crimes are punished. Felons in most states lose voting rights. DUI offenders lose driving privileges. Sex offenders lose the privilege of being around kids.
It's very consistent.
