What do you call someone driving 75 mph in a 45 zone? A speeder, right? Well, what if that person has a BAL above the 0.08% legal limit? Then they're a DWI, they lose their license, get their car towed and probably face about $5,000 in fines, right? Well what do you call it if they're a MADD volunteer? Hilarious.
A volunteer for Mothers Against Drunk Driving who has lobbied state lawmakers for stricter drunken driving laws has been cited for driving under the influence, police say.

Amy D'Aniello, 31, of North Branford, was charged with operating under the influence of alcohol and speeding early Sunday morning after she was pulled over for allegedly driving 75 mph in a 45 mph zone on Route 80, police said.

A call seeking comment was placed to D'Aniello Tuesday.

The incident occurred about 2:30 a.m. when a police officer was tracking traffic. Police say the officer smelled alcohol on D'Aniello's breath, and she tested at an unspecified amount above the state's 0.08 legal limit.
Locking up MADD volunteers isn't a good way to deal with the stupid laws that they advocate, but forgive me while I laugh my ass off as this poor person guilty of nothing more than bad judgment has to suffer through the same hell that her group advocates for everyone that has a beer on the way home from work.
