I think many of you are being too harsh and judging unfairly. One of the reports said that he was checked for blood alcohol content and found there was none. That implies he was not drinking. Sounds to me like a health issue and if his state of impairment was caused by the drugs he was taking for the ailment or simply an unknown health issue which was unknown until now, the cause was undetermined at the time of the report. That is why they took him to the hospital instead of jail.
As far as criticism for writing tickets to speeders and illegal parking at the lake, that is his job, to make people comply to the laws. If people obeyed the laws, there would be no need for his job. I doubt any of you would complain if he was issuing tickets to those who were fishing illegally. You would be giving him "kudos" for doing his job.
That stretch of highway is extremely dangerous and enforcing the speed limit law only makes it safer for the rest of us. I grew up in Brigham City. I remember all the head-on accidents that would occur on that highway. There was an ambulance call to go up the canyon very often. My Aunt and Uncle was one of them and they almost lost their lives up there. My younger brother did loose his life on that stretch of highway due to a head-on. In both cases, they were not the cause of the accident, only the innocent victim. My brother was 27 and left behind his wife and a son who was less than a year old. I lost not only my younger brother, but a great fishing, hunting and tennis partner that day.
