While we know about this check point, there is nothing said about the officers waiting on all the roads people will use to circumvent the check point. . In all seriousness, please don’t drink and drive. It’s better for all concerned.

I would like to say to all that drink and drive, that a check point is not the only thing you have to worry about, I see more and more cameras everywhere and mostly dash cameras, I see a lot of them things. You’ll get caught sooner or later!

If you saw the figures of how few violations are found at these checkpoint Charlie type set ups, you would ask: How many drunks would be caught if these same 30 officers were deployed all over the county new years eve/morning, and looked for true probable cause to stop people (weaving, speeding, driving too slow etc.)? Those of us that drive around the north end much (especially on 97) see such driving all the time, and rarely see a trooper enforcing the law. With all the wrecks with death and injury we have in the North end, you would think this would be an area for some targeted enforcement. Maybe the FHP just can’t find their way up here.

Sorry all you people saying driving is a right. It is a privilege the state grants you after you pass certain ‘test;.

Some one on here sound like one of those people holding up baggy pants and running away shouting over their shoulder;

“I know my rights!! ”

There is a process and we are a republic. The Republic of the United States of America

“In American English, the definition of a republic can also refer specifically to a government in which elected individuals represent the citizen body, known elsewhere as a representative democracy (a democratic republic and exercise power according to the rule of law”)

Newsflash –most of us don’t want to share the road with drunks, people driving with no insurance, people with warrants on their head, speeders, drug pushers and so on..

We like law and order–not criminals and idiots…

Bring it–What a joy it is to be stopped, and the only thing on my breath is hot chocolate, driver’s license is current, insurance and tag paid for and absolutely nothing on my record. Try it.

That’s Freedom
