Zero Tolerance means like if you were caught "committing" the "crime", you would automatically be sentenced to punishment. For instance in schools. Lets Say a straight A student was working on a project at school and she/he pulls out a construction knife to cut a hard piece of wood. He/She will be issued a punishment lacking Common Sense or even hearing an explanation. Also lets say an average student at lunch was just hanging out and a pocket knife is dropped into his lap and a staff member sees it. That person will be punished without hearing the explanation. This law is usually referred to as the Zero Intelligence Law. Like I was recently Force to do community service for being "Truant" even though i was going to skoal and was running late. They did not Hear my explanation and i was doomed to 30 hours of community service. That's is the zero tolerance law.

In the context of a driver of a vehicle, zero tolerance means that if you are under 21 and stopped while driving and you have a BAC (blood alcohol content) of more than .02, you can be charged with a violation of the zero tolerance law and your drivers license can be suspended and there is a substantial fine. It is not a DUI.

What zero tolerance means?

Zero tolerance refers to a strict policy or approach that enforces severe consequences for specific behaviors or actions, regardless of the circumstances or intent. It is commonly applied in contexts like law enforcement, workplace conduct, and school discipline, where any violation results in predetermined penalties. The goal of zero tolerance is to deter unacceptable behavior and maintain a clear standard of conduct. However, critics argue that it can lead to disproportionate punishments and fail to consider individual cases.


Which is meant by a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking?

Zero-tolerance simply means NO exceptions. Even kids know the rules & laws about drinking below the legal age limit - yet they constantly try to break those rules. There are age limits for a reason - to show you have the maturity to be responsible enough to control your own behaviour and stay within the law.
