This sounds like a good program. With Mr. Hursh and Mr. Tobin going at it in a race for judgeship perhaps they could spend some time at the county’s three high schools and get our students informed of the law.
[Kane County Judge]Boles stunned students [Dundee-Crown High School] with specifics of the law, including the possibility of arrest for those at a party where there is alcohol but they haven't been drinking…

"Anyone within reach is what the law considers 'control of the area,' " Boles said.
New DUI laws are imposing even stricter penalties. The usual Class A misdemeanor can now be upgraded to a fourth class felony -- punishable up to one year in prison -- if it's not the driver's first or if they don't have a valid license or auto insurance.
Students also seemed unaware that an 18 year-old having sex with a minor would deem them a sex offender, requiring registry at their college campus.
