"In my opinion, they are the ones that just don't seem to care or simply don't believe they will get caught." The law, which became effective October 1, gives law enforcement officials the right to arrest anyone they believe has been impaired by an alcoholic beverage or drug related substance. If convicted, the DWI offenders can be sentenced to perform com munity service work or to attend special driver education classes. The offender is also required to pay at least a S100 fine to reim burse the state for administrative costs incurred during the action. Despite the stiffer penalties, Burgess said he did not think those who "really wanted to drink and drive" would stay off the highways. "These laws can prevent a casual drinker from driving, but 1 don't think it will prevent a prob Icm drinker from getting behind the wheel," Burgess said. "You can't stop people from doing what they want to do. All we can do is enforce the law," Burgess said. "We are going to do that." The new DW1 law recently came under review by the court system after a Gaston County District Court judge declared it unconstitu tional. Gaston District Court Judge Lewis Bulwinkle of Gastonia dismissed a case November 8 after upholding defense arguments that the law was unconstitutional because it fails to assure an ar rested person the presence of a lawyer during a Breathalyzer test. The new law like the old drunk driving law allows the lawyer's presence if arrangements do not delay the test more than 30 minutes. Bulwinkle upheld arguments that under the old law the test serv ed only to "produce some evidence" of intoxication, while under the new DWI law the test alone is grounds for conviction.
