Thanks for the offer buddy, but roadblocks are bullshit. Very much against people's rights, which I would expect you to value. The piggies just want everything to be easier for them. I am not near you anyway, so that won't be an issue. In all seriousness, good luck man. I am not trying to stir up a shit-storm. Should not have said what I did, sorry, if you will accept that.

i agree, drunk drivers shouldn't be on the road, but don't you think it infringes on the rights of, well, pretty much everyone when the police back up traffic for miles and test everyone?
i know i'm not an expert on it, but when i look at the numbers of DUI's being handed out, i start to think that saturation patrols are the answer, not checkpoints. can't help it, but it kind of irritates me when i see 30-40 cops, all being paid massive OT, to stage a 4-5 hour checkpoint and they'll get 2-3 people. sorry, but thousands of dollars aren't worth it to get another couple hundred bucks in the municipal coffers. |

Yes, there is a lunacy to previously announced DUI checkpoints. As far as you being inconvinced.......just think like after 9/11 and trying to get on an airplane. Sometimes "the times" call for us to sacrifice some inconvinence for the greater good and safety of all.

dude, checking every person getting on a commercial airplane is a "little different" than stopping major traffic routes for HOURS to check every single person in a checkpoint.
whatever happened to arresting people when they actually did something wrong? |

I've been through dozens of those things, if not hundreds by now (and I'm not exaggerating). And I have NEVER even had an eye blinked at me. They come up, ask me a couple questions, and let me go. Yeah, it's a minor inconvenience. But I'll take that inconvenience any day over some drunk asshole driving down the road. And for the record, when I worked at the TV station on Friday nights and weekends, I got the reports of their stops every Saturday morning from those checkpoints, and I don't think they ever only got one or two. Always was more like 15-20. |

Its not different. It's a public street payed for with public money. You don't have a "right" to drive a car. It's a privilidge. Sorry that you are delayed getting on with your life but I worked in an ER/ICU for 9 years and have seen the pain inflicted on families from drunk driving. Having to be a little delayed is not a bad trade off especially since I'm rarely out at midnight on a Saturday night anyway.

you'll find that saturation patrols cost MUCH less and catch WAY more drunk drivers. oh, but i forgot, during saturation patrols, police officers actually have to do something other than shine lights in my face and tell me that i have to come over and use this here breathalyzer machine. btw, i have never gotten a DWI or DUI, but I do love to mess w/ cops when I got stuck in a checkpoint. |
