This is a very disturbing issue. A Victory Cab Driver recieved a ticket from law enforcement in Paulding County because he brought an intoxicated man from Cobb county into Paulding . The passenger was picked up in Marietta, Ga. but lived in Paulding County. He was being responsible by taking a cab home and not driving drunk. Paulding County has an ordinance that prevents cab drivers from other counties from dropping off passengers in their county. This sounds very outrageous to me. In otherwords, Paulding County is saying that if you go out of their county to partake in alcohol, you can not have a cab bring you home. So what are you suppose to do? Drive drunk and hurt or kill someone or yourself? Or get the taxi to drop you off at the county line and you can walk home and risk a charge of Public Intoxication. I really wonder who in the world sits around and makes these laws without thinking about how it will effect the community and the people in the community. Sounds like to me that Paulding County is wanting people to either stay in their county and party or drive home intoxicated.
