Twitter newest obstacle for police in cracking down on drunk driving car accidents

Social media at its finest; or social media at its worst. Depends on who you ask.

This holiday season, police are reporting catching a record amount of impaired drivers through the R.I.D.E. program. This is great as it’s keeping impaired drivers off the streets to reduce the possibilty of a car accident.
