"I mean, I remember once I got a DUI, which is not nearly what you went through. But you know, they make it go through a 14-week program and go to AA meetings, and like, you are entrapped into the criminal justice system, again at a very low level. But even at that level, I was like, whoa, this is awful."
"they make it go through a 14-week program and go to AA meetings, and like, you are entrapped into the criminal justice system, again at a very low level. But even at that level, I was like, whoa, this is awful. I mean first of all, there's a lot of people who love it that they just have complete power over you and whatever you do because now you're in the system."
Bill Maher compared his 1992 DUI experience and Woody Allen's child sex abuse investigation to provide insight into the criminal justice system. Maher described mandatory programs, AA meetings, and a feeling of being entrapped even at a low level. Maher said encountering the system revealed people who enjoy having power over those in the system and that the experience offered insight into what Black Americans face. Woody Allen rejected the equivalence, noting he was never charged and saying he did not suffer in the same way despite police investigations.
