DUI as an adult carries with it one set of rules and BAC tolerance, DUI as a minor has a different BAC tolerance because, as a minor, you're not supposed to be drinking at all anyway. You can't claim a bias just because you're getting nailed for two infractions at once. Also, do you honestly think that the difference between .02 and .08 can't mean the difference between sober and drunk in a minor? It can in adults, it certainly can in minors. Even if you don't blow over .08, you can still be proven intoxicated and given a DUI, it's not just about the BAC you blow. He said he was drinking, he blew over the legal limit for a minor, he faces the penalties for breaking the law. Starting a petition about a law you feel is "unfair" is one thing- but to wait until you've broken it to start complaining about it? No sympathy for drunk drivers.
