Poll: Minimum Punishments for DUI Cases

June 17, 2015 Michael Dyck

Poll Closed on June 27, 2015 at 1:00 pm CST

Take a moment to read the question and answer the poll. I'm going to write an article in a week about the results of the poll and what the government thinks is appropriate.

The federal government wants to impose a new mandatory minimum punishment for all driving impaired causing death cases. Right now, the minimum punishment is $1,000 fine and a driving prohibition. That is the same minimum punishment as a drive impaired case where no one is injured or dies. What do you think is an appropriate mandatory minimum punishment?

  •  No mandatory minimum
  • Probation and/or Fine
  • Provincial jail (2 years or less)
  • Federal jail (2 to 4 years)
  • Federal jail (4 to 6 years)
  • Federal jail (6+ years)
