You would think with the millions of dollars this guy has made as a major leaguer he could at least afford his own driver or at least a taxi:
In this file photo taken on Dec. 6, 2016, Kang Jung-ho, South Korean infielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, arrives at Gangnam Police Station in southern Seoul to face questioning over allegations he fled the scene after causing a traffic accident while driving under the influence of alcohol earlier in the month. (Yonhap)
Seoul police said Wednesday they’re seeking to indict Pittsburgh Pirates’ infielder Kang Jung-ho on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Police have handed the case over to prosecutors after investigating Kang for leaving the scene of a DUI accident in the nation’s capital on Dec. 2.
It was Kang’s third DUI arrest, which resulted in revocation of his license.
Kang fled the scene after crashing into a guard rail on his way to his hotel in southern Seoul. In the immediate aftermath, a friend of Kang’s in the passenger seat, only identified by the surname Yoo, reported to police as the driver of the vehicle. Police analyzed the black box inside the vehicle and determined that Kang had actually been behind the wheel.
Police are also seeking indictment of Kang’s friend. They said they couldn’t clearly establish that the two had intentionally misled police or that Kang had specifically asked Yoo to offer false testimony at first.
Kang, who has two major leaguer seasons under his belt, also faced sexual assault allegations that emerged in Chicago in July.
He was named to the South Korean national team for the 2017 World Baseball Classic (WBC) scheduled for March, but will likely be dropped from the 28-man roster as early as Wednesday. [Yonhap]
It looks like this guy may be too self destructive to remain a major league baseball player considering he only hit .255 last year with 21 home runs.
“Police analyzed the black box inside the vehicle and determined that Kang had actually been behind the wheel.”
Damn, Big Brother keeping track of who is driving too, lol.

I would hope it was revoked after the first DUI, or at a minimum the 2nd one!

Andy, the surveillance state is so pervasive the information is constantly dumbed down to keep the public from knowing about its true ability.
An example might be the grainy videos and pictures of criminals and terrorists which have been degraded to be just good enough for acquaintances to recognize them but no longer representimg the super HD quality they taxpayer-funded camera is capable of… as is any 30 dollar webcam.
Bonus: I am working on a project that takes a single super high-res picture of a crowd (stadium, protest, etc) and identifies everyone in it. I am running it on an average-spec notebook computer made in 2007. The first time I ran my code, 60% of the test subjects were correctly located wiith only 10 training photos for the AI.
Hmmmm. I can think of some good uses for that program.
I bet you and I are on the same page.
It would be nice to instantly link BLM members involved in riots and paid jackassery to White House visitor logs.
These connections have been made before, but it sometimes takes days to months.
One lady from the Project Veritas video exposing Democrats “bird-dogging” was being paid by one of the Democrat super-PACs. It took internet sleuths a few days after the video to track down her name in the PAC’s public financial records. This connection was only made because she was identified in O’Keefe’s video as a paid instigator.
If a few high-res shots from each “protest” are ran through your program it might be able to recognize the people that go from town to town to stir the pot for a paycheck.
Maybe he will go to prison and become a catcher?
