So what is there to deter them from doing it again? How much of a fine are we talking about here. There are also other potential legal issues that a police department could come up against by taking someone home.

$30+k a year to house a person in jail as a national standard. Treatment is generally 10% of that.. Not lookiing it up right now but just going off of memory.

I know it is expensive to jail someone, in my scenario above I don't suggest jail until they offend 3 times and even then on the third they are given a chance to do the right thing and only get jail if they don't comply and get treatment and follow through.
