Last night after a very enjoyable ride on the bike and a nice visit with friends the wife and I hopped on the bike and headed for home. We didn't get far and got behind a guy that was obviously loaded. He was all over the road. No cops anywhere to see this. Finally the guy turned off and we continued on home. About two miles from the house low and behold there is a DUI checkpoint. I hate these things, to me it is an infringement on my freedom, like being in a communist state, ( pulled over and asked let me see your papers
)<br /><br />The cops at the check point were from three different departments, one being the township where MR drunk driver was preforming his swerve and weave routine. No less than four cops from that department standing around harassing folks for simply driving home. So in a nutshell the cops are busy pulling over sober people that are just minding their own business, while the drunks are causing havoc out on the back roads. <br /><br />HELLO!!! Whats wrong with this picture?? Word gets back to every bar in the county within minutes of a DUI check point. All the drunks know where they are and avoid them, and the cops know it!!!<br /><br />HELLO WHATS WRONG HERE!!!<br /><br />I hate DUI checkpoints ,, just hate them!!!
<br /><br />Let me add, I dont think DUI check points do any good at whatsoever.
