    1. Sure. But he should provide a source/reference link if he's using their data.

  8. The data is from the Montgomery County Police Department, just as I wrote in the story. Stop trolling.

    @ 3:55 PM -

    Actually, it should be "DUIs" and "Dyer's". Acronyms and abbreviations do not use apostrophe for nominative plural. "Dyer's...arrests" is of course possessive singular and has an apostrophe followed by an "s".

    Sorry, I misquoted you, @ 3:55 PM.

    That should have been "Dyer's... DUIs", not "Dyer's... arrests".

    The stories say "blank blank happened, according to the police."

    That's typically how you let people know you aren't just pulling facts out of your ass.

  14. Congrats to the Task Force officers for their great work. Now those alleged to be driving under the influence need to hire a good, knowledgeable and a reputed lawyer. They must take full advantage of asking questions as it helps in finding a right DUI lawyer for you. Let me know if you need any help as my friend works with a DUI lawyer and can help you if select a good attorney to fight your case.
