VisualDarkness: Try a DUI in Stonebro's Norway and you will understand why he used it as an example. When seeing American cops releasing people so easily for DUI I can't help but to put my palm to my forehead in disbelief.
JudasIscariot: I thought he was stating that when someone gets a misdemeanor in the States they go straight to jail and and get raped. That's the way I read it and I was trying to show him otherwise. I did some research into Norway's DUI laws and, while I found nothing official because I can't speak/read Norwegian, it seems that they use 3 weeks of hard labour and imprisonment right off the bat. If he was trying to state that the American judicial system was harsher than Norway's then maybe he was mistaken? Not sure.
Not sure about Norway but when I was in Germany, the rumor you often heard on base was when Polizei pulls you over under suspicion of DUI and they ask for a blood test, you better damn well give it to them willingly. I heard lots of tales of them taking blood by force that seemed brutal, yet efficient.
