One would think MADD would be mad over the Durham cops charging people in Bowmanville with public intoxication while they stood on the sidewalk waiting for their designated driver service to show.....
In fact, MADD Canada's CEO Andrew Murie yesterday gave the Durham cops a high-five for issuing those tickets, and the bars of Bowmanville a thumbs-down for over-serving.
"I put the blame solely on the bars," says Murie. "Those who think it sends a mixed message have not thought it out. "How did those people get to that state? Yes, I am putting the onus strictly on the bars -- absolutely.
"The inspector is dead-on."
