Soares gets tough with problem drinkers
District Attorney David Soares in Albany County with a new ruling to lower the bar for DWI offenders who have a BAC of .15 or higher has targeted a group who are perceived to be problem drinkers.
Soares says he was inspired to act in this area after a double DWI fatality occurred in Albany with both passenger and driver having extremely high BACs. While some in the criminal justice system have said this measure goes too far, it’s the kind of enforcement that certainly can save lives.
