'dirty DUIs' in Contra Costa County -- women hired "detective agency" to entrap the spouses they were divorcing (or divorced from) so they could claim in court the man was a drunk-driver & safety risk to children -- this shit is NOT just urban legend.

woah that is really fucked up.

i feel way more anger about the corrupt system than i feel sympathy for these men though. even if some beautiful person is begging, NO ONE should get behind the wheel of a car drunk.

Susan Dutcher, a substitute schoolteacher, said in a sworn declaration that she paid Butler $2,500 to obtain evidence that her husband drove while drinking. She insisted she did not authorize Butler to have him arrested because she did not want to imperil his job and his ability to pay child support.

a hart o'gold she has.

You thought it was urban legend? This is common fare for divorce lawyers to advise soon to be ex wives. Its been in the divorce literature since the 1990s, and I'm sure in practice far longer.

They don't just look to see if you're drinking and driving [you shouldn't be on principle,] but also if you are already seeing other women, what kind of business practices you keep. There was a case where a woman paid another women to drink with her soon to be ex, and when he drove home, he was pulled over. One woman had a PI follow her soon to be ex husband so she could find out if he had any extra assets [a boat, and a house.] She's got to get her pound of flesh, you know?

The other trick to to get him/you drunk and then get him in to a fight. He's violent don't you know?

Pro-tip, do nothing fun until the divorce is final. My lawyer told me that along with "Joint custody is out of the question if she's against it, not worth fighting for unless she's a demonstrated in public with convictions bad person."

For similar reading on similar issues: look into the 'Divorce Contractors' of Japan.

I don't understand what's wrong with this? He chose to drink and drive, they didn't force him. He therefore deserves the punishment.

I don't care if it was an anonymous report to the police, or something like this, if he did it he did it there's no arguing that one.
