Yep - see "MADD". Or various religions (like the "Straight Edge" discussed under the last post).

GLENSHAW, Pa. - A former police officer who had been an FBI agent for less than two years was fatally shot Wednesday as he served a warrant at the home of an alleged cocaine dealer.
Agent Samuel Hicks was shot about 6 a.m. in Indiana Township, a middle-class community about 10 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. He was taking part in a drug-ring roundup at the home of Robert Korbe, who was in custody on the drug charges.
Hicks, 33, had been with the FBI since March 2007. He was a former Baltimore police officer and school teacher with a wife and 3-year-old son.
