Kennedy v. Commonwealth
Facts:
Defendant was convicted in
Prince William General District Court (Virginia) for driving under the
influence of alcohol (DUI) in violation of Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-266. On a de
novo appeal, he filed a motion to dismiss the charge and a motion to declare
parts of Va. Code Ann. §§ 18.2-269 and 18.2-270 unconstitutional.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- The purpose of Va. Code
Ann. § 46.2-391.2's administrative license suspension (ALS) requirements
is civil in nature. The purpose of revoking a driver's license is not to
punish the offender but to remove from the highways an operator who is a
potential danger to other users. The ALS in Va. Code § 46.2-391.2 is a
remedial sanction because its purpose is to protect the public from
intoxicated drivers and to reduce alcohol related accidents and, therefore
it does not constitute punishment for purposes of double jeopardy.
Confirming this, the legislative history provides that the General
Assembly was motivated by its desire to reduce alcohol-related crashes,
fatalities, and injuries, and not to impose punishment.
