Plexico Burress, the NY Giants wide receiver apparently had the cooperation of the hospital ER personel to cover up information about his “self-inflicted” bullet wound to his leg. By law, bullet wounds and severe burns must be reported to the police and or prosecutors since burglars and arsonists may be obvious criminal suspects.<\/p>\n
The BAC(Blood Alcohol Content) of the driver’s involved in personal injury and fatal crashes, is confidental. Police must get a search warrant from a judge, often at night, to obtain this criminal evidence, wasting crucial time, as the BAC is rapidly disappearing(.02 an hour).<\/p>\n
Many more people are killed and severly injured than those who choose to carry weapons, and\/or shoot themsleves.<\/p>\n
Attempts to correct this huge loophole in the criminal law(which enriches defense lawyers) denies justice and restitution to DWI victims and their families, have failed, so far.<\/p>\n
