I'm most familiar with the Northeast... The Globe did a study of DUI cases and found greater than 85% of them were dismissed. All of the recent high profile bike fatalities in the Boston area resulted in no arrests, let alone penalties, despite the driver being at fault. An SUV rolled over and killed 4 pedestrians on the sidewalk in the Back Bay. No arrests because the police couldn't determine which person in the vehicle was driving. The case that will forever be burned into my head is Allison Lau in Queens. A 3yo in a crosswalk with her grandmother. The driver ran right over them, killing her. He lied to the police, saying the girl ran into the street and there was nothing he could do. Dashcam from another vehicle later showed he was on his phone when he was turning left. After public outcry, he was finally issued a $50 failure to yield ticket that was later dismissed.
