In an seemingly unlikely story we find that truth is indeed stranger than fiction, and we also find proof that the law really DOES want you to do the right thing, not just punish you. In North Carolina a veteran suffering from PTSD was on probation and failed a urine test. After admitting to using alcohol, the judge in charge of the case sentenced the veteran to a day in jail for the probation violation. Being a veteran himself, he spent the night in jail with the offender because he was concerned that the experience could trigger a PTSD relapse event. The judge didn't want to simply punish, he also felt compassion and wanted to help the veteran get back on track. Remember, never operate a vehicle if you are under the influence of any substance.
