text: I'm not defending DUI and actually think enforcement should be stricter, but police presence is so limited in this State that unless you're driving so erratically that somebody reports you or you're driving home after bar-closing time, you're not likely to encounter the police.   Juneau is an exception since almost all the bars are in town, most people live in the Valley or on Douglas, and everybody gets off at 4:30, so if you're driving any other time, you're meat.   And unless it has changed since I left in '10, you are a lot more likely to see the police in Juneau than you are here in Anchorage.   'Course it may be that they concentrate on patrolling certain areas whereas Juneau was much more homogenous than ANC.
  
  I just think an ankle monitor and an ignition interlock is an effective deterrent to DUI that gives the offender some chance at employment, and I really don't like the racket that has sprung up around DUI processes.
