DUI's are just a huge money maker for the police. I was wrong but some of the ways people get dui's now is kinda ridiculous.

That's a completely foolish and ignorant statement. Contrary to popular belief, court fees associated with traffic violations do not directly benefit law enforcement. They benefit the state. Most law enforcement officers are employed by city or county agencies and get no funding from the state other than grant money for equipment upgrades and child centered programs. The only time these agencies see a portion of court fees refunded to them is for the service of warrants or orders for arrest.

Trust me when I say this. The last thing an officer is thinking when he pulls someone over is that he's trying to meet a quota or this is his opportunity to generate money. His main concerns are trying to stay alive and keeping the public safe.
