It seems there are often attempts at passing new laws after a tragedy. The immediate impulse to try to prevent future tragedies is very understandable. And some laws that have come from high-profile tragedies make sense. But many proposed laws don't. The saying "hard cases make bad law" applies to this attempt, I think. We debated the idea earlier of requiring bars to be responsible for getting intoxicated people home and it's not realistic IMO. I see the above blurb said bars would be required to call "a cab" but this is hardly the heyday of Yellow Cab service with vetted drivers. It would seem forcing an intoxicated into an Uber could be unsafe. And what happens when the person pukes in the Uber and gets dumped out who knows where?Thousands sign petition to pass law named after Riley Strain
