DUI vs Prop36

[johnnnboyyy]

My question is you get a dui, first offense they lower it down to a wet recless. You lose your license through the DMV. A person driving under the influence of meth gets pulled over gets charged goes to court gets prop 36 doesnt lose their license why is that? Why can't a fist offender for a dui get deverted so they don't lose thier license? I mean this is a double standard and I know life isnt fair but you can get in an accident on meth just a easy as being alcohol. I'M posting this on here because hopfully I can get some kind of answer. I can't get one from anyone else.

Judges have fairly wide discretion as to sentences. Each case is different, purposely in our system.

Its the DA but they will give first time offenders for the dui a wet reckless and the people driving on meth prop 36. Should'nt it be equal in keeping or losing a license? The judge doesnt suspend your license the dmv does but for the people that get prop 36 don't have to go before the dmv.
