DUI's are a big business, here in Duval County. According to http://trialstats.flcourts.org/ in 2010, roughly 3,300 DUI cases were "disposed" of by the State of Florida and the State Attorney, the publicly elected official in charge of such "disposal" either by conviction, amendment, or trial.
The first 6 months of 2011 netted approximately 1500 new DUI cases, which shows a good estimated average of 2800-3200 individuals in Duval County arrested every year for driving under the influence. One immediate private interest with an interest in DUI enforcement is the Northeast Florida Safety Council. Current fees associated with DUI School are listed at: http://www.flhsmv.gov/ddl/dui_prog.html
The Northeast Florida Safety Council operates as a non-for-profit corporation, and has a general lock on operations pertaining to DUI school. Another level of profit which is woven into the system has to do with the network of the Northeast Florida Safety Council and the referral to a private psychologist, if it is deemed necessary by the instructor, upon completion or before DUI school even begins. You can, of course, hire your own professional and ignore their suggestion for a psychologist, but the selection and addition to that list must be a point of dispute or desire among some psychologists who would like more appointments.
Florida DUI Laws also contain a provision which is relevant to another corporation, MADD. The price of the Mothers Against Drunk Driving class is around $50.00. Multiply that number by the amount of disposed DUI's, and you get around $140,000.00 per year.
MADD is a very powerful lobbying group. Name another group that can influence the Florida legislature to include provisions to secure future funding based on a particular class of crime occurring. In essence, the organization has earned itself a settlement from every person convicted of DUI, as a general provision of the laws of most states.
They are currently pressing for ignition interlock devices on all those convicted of DUI here in Florida. They also successfully passed a law at one point, which was to turn the license plates of anyone with a DUI pink.
There is an entire system of organization with nesting bureaucratic entities providing their own checks and balances and flow of cash. It would be interesting to find out where the majority of funds from this "business" ends up.
