Today when the stock market is lower through our 401k were buying a little bit more stock. The slum is that part of global wave of selling triggered by the slow down in china.

Police cracking down drunk drives nothing new but theyre now not just going after drivers who drink alcohol. Cops are trying to get what they call drugged drivers off the road. Fox 29 weekends Bill Anderson shows us how theyre tracking down big time. Reporter for a Decade Police have been cracking down on driving while under the influence of alcohol. But now with dui levels steadily declining, authorities are now focusing on what they call drugged drying. Checkpoints will be set up in random locations throughout the area and one of the things theyll be focusing on is driving while under the influence of drugs. Theyre not just focusing on illegal drug use. Theyre also cracking down on prescription and over the counter drugs. People dont understand if theyre on Prescription Medications prescribed legit mal with the therapeutic so called therapeutic ranges and taking them that way and all those drugs together cause impairment thats a dui case. An arrest. Not only is it an arrest but driving under the influence of drugs is viewed by the law as severely as driving with an alcohol limit nearly two times the legal allowance. We have a three tear system. You get the same penalty if you were a. 16 or higher. Walking around the city there were strong opinions about this crack down. If you see somebody going over the yellow line or Something Like that, then, yeah, pull them over and ask them put to be setting up checkpoints checking for night quill is going a little far. I think its not actually that bad of an idea. With uber and lyft and cabs so accessible why not do that rather than risk getting pulled over or hitting someone. Reporter police realize cracking down on things people may not have known were illegal could be a shock but they feel like driving under the influence is serious enough that we need that shock. Taking a hit of marijuana or taking too much cough and Cold Medicine thats no different than pointing a loaded firearm at somebody. Reporter guys, most of us know not to drink or take Illegal Drugs and then drive a car. But legal medication can be a little bit more confusing. So authorities say, just dont risk it. If youre drowsy or if the label says, to avoid operating machinery, then just dont risk it. You could end up hurting yourself, you can lose your freedom or worse.
