Some do but I don't report everything for that reason I'll report the crime but I leave out things so the police can catch the crook as far as the checkpoints go I think they should tell the public one thing then put it acouple streets over.
Don't tell people where the DUI checkpoints are! The only purpose for doing so would be to help drunk drivers avoid getting caught. Who the hell else would care?
Thank you for letting us know! This gigantic farce known as DUI checkpoints needs to be abandoned already. It is a huge waste of money, time, and resources for very little results (even as a deterrent). Of course this will never happen because law enforcement is in love with checkpoints as it allows 20+ officers to stand around and get exorbitant overtime pay. The only people who lose are the taxpayers paying for their own harassment (but of course, these are the people who don't matter at all).
Where are the statistics on how effective these really are? I know a lot of people who were cited for DUI's in this town that were below the legal limit.
Don't tell people where it is! The whole reason the Santa Barbara Police Department doesn't tell people where they're going to do them is so that drunk drivers can't avoid it. Duh.
a-1525574836 You may be being sarcastic, but they totally do monitor Edhat. I know at least a couple people who I associated with in my shady days who regularly checked Edhat to inform themselves before/during criminal acts.
You really think the "criminal element" in town is checking Edhat for tip offs from the likes of Roger and others about where to hit and where to lay low? lol
