With the passage of Bill AB 808 earlier this year everyone who gets or renews their drivers license in California on or after July 1, 2008, will be required to sign the following statement as a condition of getting their license:

"I am hereby advised that being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, impairs the ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Therefore, it is extremely dangerous to human life to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both. If I drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both, and as a result, a person is killed, I can be charged with murder."

So just like that people are being forced (or course the state will argue that a drivers license is a privilage not a right but who can really get by without a car?) to sign up for a murder charge when it should be something less.
