Tell the City Attorney to clear some time defending this in federal court.

Is it even remotely close to legal for them to do this?

yes because the Madison County Jail is such a lovely place to stay and nothing bad ever happens there.

Nah, it'll be shot down in Madison County Circuit Court

He cannot lawfully enforce court-ordered treatment when the defendant will have already served the maximum possible jail time. He can't unlawfully deny bond. The defendant may not be guilty. Sounds like a judicial performance complaint may occur.

Lawyers will eat this alive. But populism is alive and well in these days. Maybe he wants to run for something soon

wow, so Dale has been conferring with Mother Mary, the police chief, and others to formulate bond policy? can they all spell "ex parte"? finally, too many years in the tanning booth has exposed his mental problems. no defender of drunk drivers, but this is misplaced concerns...

Mayor Danks is supposed to be on JT's program next week according to my boss. Good call on the highly rated program. Again!

Ain't no party like an ex parte! This policy is unconstitutional and arbitrary, even a public defender could shred it to pieces.

"Treatment"? Who the hell said anything about treatment. This will make the 'Yo Momma' crowd show up and claim their urchins. Go Dale!

You pecker-heads are just jealous of our 'No Peacock' ordinance. Screw y'all...

You 'Monday Morning Dolts' actually think Danks is not prepared for a contest?

I think it is a very good idea. That way the parents will know when their little darling is messing up.

They are not minors. They are adults under the law. As such, he can't arbitrarily keep them for 48 hours. AHe could do this to non-citizens, but not US citizens. There is a Constitution.

"Parents" as in mother AND Father? Good luck with that.

The age of majority in MS is 21.

Until emancipated by some act (marriage, removal of minority, etc) one is technically a minor from 18-21. It's considered legally a "disability"

What is the purpose of this proclamation?

Let's make America great again!

So we're going to help them by keeping them in jail? Hmmm...

Most parents don't have the nuts to leave "little Johnny" in jail, so they're letting "Mother Mary" literally be "Mother Mary".

I guess it'll be the "deer in the headlights" from "Jack and Jill yuppie" when the city decides to keep their crotch fruit locked up without bond for jaywalking.

Oh, and you business owners get your security cameras installed, unless you want to be in jail.

Way to go Judge Danks !

Hopefully 48 hours in the Madison County Lock-Up might just be the attitude adjustment these lil' punks need.

When the possibility of a "Canton Jail Colorectal Massage" is in the mix, this may be one of the best juvenile rehabilitation ideas ever !

Can the age group in question drink alcohol under the law?

I'm reminded of Prosecutor Berger who always used to whine, "Your honor, that question is incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial".

State law on a DUI 1st conviction is 48 hrs in jail

Yeah, rape is so funny, 10:48. Until it happens to you or your kids.

The Law schools in Mississippi are about as good as Trump U.

Wow Kingfish, JT is promoting his show that has 3 advertisers. Isn't it strange that few want to place ads on such a highly rated show.

At age 18 one is still a minor under Mississippi law; age 21 is the age of majority. However, persons age 18 are prosecuted for crimes as adults because Youth Court loses jurisdiction when a person has attained the age of 18.

Maybe they should be jailed until they make bail.

"State law on a DUI 1st conviction is 48 hrs in jail."

That comment is incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial. A person of any age hauled to the tank after 'failing' a legitimate blow-test has not been convicted of anything.

he means the max jail time for a DUI First is 48 hours.

Actually, what he means is locking them up for 48 hours is protected by the fact that first offense DUI (conviction) is 48 hours in jail. He just omits the fact that the incarcerant has been convicted of nada. How you like that word?

For those UNDER 21 years old, jail is not authorized as part of the sentence (if convicted) anyway:

Section 63-11-30(3) Zero Tolerance for Minors.
***
(b)(ii) Upon conviction of any person under the age of twenty-one (21) years for the first offense of violating subsection (1) of this section where chemical tests provided for under Section 63-11-5 were given, or where chemical test results are not available, the person shall be fined Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00); the court shall order the person to attend and complete an alcohol safety education program as provided in Section 63-11-32 within six (6) months. The court may also require attendance at a victim impact panel.

Methinks somebody got his brain over-baked in the tanning bed. It's tough to make reasoned decisions when you're inside a microwave 10 hours a week. You just lose the ability to do shit right.
