statistically, every seventh person you meet in Minnesota has had a DUI.
I did the math and if you include every DWI from 1998-2017 you get ~11% of people. Though this isn’t accounting for the same driver getting caught multiple times so it’s probably lower.
(counted the total to be 635,818)
That’s genuinely a LOT higher than I thought it would be. Its ~1/10 and probably less if you include reoffenders but that’s insane.
Also note that the punishment for getting caught for DWI in mini-soda is pretty light
You may be right, but only counting DUIs from a 19-year timeframe means you’re not capturing a LOT of DUIs when you “did the math.” You’re likely missing enough to make the number about, oh, 1 in 7.
