  1. It is sad that despite progress in the 90, 00’s with groups like MADD getting publicity, now DUI is no longer widely seen as an unfavorable behavior. It has even been shown in studies that people high on things other than alcohol do not even think DUI applies to them because you know, pot is legal now. It is part of the chaos plan of the radical left. Good job guys.

  2. I think that names should be posted for shaming! DUI in the middle of the day when my kids are driving in that area! What is wrong with people!! Uber isn’t that expensive and now your life is ruined and good! Glad you got caught!!

    • Ruined, doubtful. Maybe a little costly but ruined, not even close.

    • Les, In the good ole days, Shaming was helpful to change bad behaviors/lifestyles, but, nowadays the Liberals keep turning helpful/good words around to condone horrible behaviors/lifestyles! Their CCP indoctrination is truly degenerating society of mentally/emotionally weak Sheeple!

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
