    They’ll search the area, inform the public, but if only one person got out and they aren’t violent, it would probably just end up in wanted posters.

    So if this so-called person can manage to get out of the country, they’re good.

    However, if this person is driving drunk a third time, they should stay in jail. Maybe lose a foot or a hand.

      What about a person carrying an ounce of pot walking down the road? Everyone is so stuck on the DWI I just meant minor crimes.

        I used to know someone that was on the most wanted list in a county for DWIs. They sorta had an idea of where he was, but no one seemed to go to much trouble to get him. Eventually turned himself in months or years later (I don’t remember exactly how long it was).

        It probably depends on the location and several other factors.

      Getting caught a third time. Which probably means they’ve actually done it dozens to hundreds of times.
