Reply to comment by basement-thug in Lancaster man arrested twice in one night for DUI. by basement-thug

I know for a fact that rural counties in NY release people before they sober up. A friend of mine got two DWIs in the same night. The second DWI involved him crashing into parked cars. Property damage could have been avoided if they just kept him locked up.

It also could have been avoided if that person also didn’t drive drunk in the first place though.

A friend of kind dad was held until he sobered up, went home, got his wife’s car, went back to the bar and ended up with a second dui years ago.

Oh for sure, my friend was at fault. I was just pointing out that PA isn't the only state that does this.

A lot of rural and small town departments don't have the staffing to have someone sitting at the station 24/7 to babysit the holding cells. They're going to either process and release an arrestee as quickly as possible, or hand them off to the county jail.

And this is why central PA politicians who have strong opinions on Krasner/crime in Philadelphia can go hump themselves.
