Adrianna, the author of the blog The Texas Blogbonnet, posted a blog discussing the new plans made by the Austin police department to reduce drunk drivers from being on the road. The new plan made by the Austin police department went into effect on Halloween weekend. Austin police officers will test the blood of suspected intoxicated drivers if the driver refuses to take the breathalyzer test. Adrianna points out that the blood of the suspected intoxicated driver will be taken on the spot. The blog also states that with success of the new plan on Halloween night will lead to the use of the plan every busy party night.
Adrianna’s blog truly conveys the importance of the new plan for Austin police department against drunk drivers. She relates the importance of having fun on a holiday, but at the same time being safe is a major concern. Drunk driving does not benefit anyone and only has the possibility to damage lives. The blog also shows that with this new plan intact will provide not only safety for the drunk drivers, but also everyone that could be possible hurt. Adrianna demonstrates the concern for everyone, but displays the responsibilities to having fun.
I completely agree with Adrianna on her blog. The police department’s number one responsibility is to keep all citizens safe. One blood test could save many lives. Although I also think that the blood test is an intrusion of privacy, it may be worth it because it would save many lives. People should not suffer due to the poor decision of another.

I will make a comment about my colleague Mike’s blog. He brought an interesting issue regarding the abuse of power some school districts are applying over student’s freedom of expression. He found out that some Texas school districts are prohibiting students the use of jackets with hoods on them because it obstruct security camera to view student’s face.
Mike is claiming that it is absurd. He supports his claim stating that because of this banning, students will be on alert in their “second home” or/and uncomfortable. Also, he states that schools should not focus on what students wear, but what is their brain since schools have been dropping the rate of students’ success.
I support his claim on respecting the student’s freedom. On the other hand, I believe that students shouldn’t wear fashionable clothing; instead, schools should make mandatory the uniform. That way, students will learn to be disciplined from his base education and will promote equality, so students can focus on school tasks.
