I was being completely sarcastic, now if you follow a known meth addict to a house, I’m ok with that being probably cause, but DUI CPs, random inspections and other similar crap are complete BS. ---

Checkpoints are not as productive per manhour spent as roving patrols. If the ultimate goal is to get drunks off the road and save lives, then the more police we have spread out watching how people drive, the more effective they will be at achieving this goal. Checkpoints are very effective at making newscasts, and at nailing a few drunks, but they really aren’t a very efficient tool. Let’s look at some of the facts concerning Friday nights checkpoint on I-279. > It backed up traffic for several miles(yes, i know, a small price to pay to save lives) > The stopped 6242 cars and made 19 arrests. That is .3% > There were ‘more than’ 90 officers who participated in the checkpoint. It lasted 5.5 hours. With setup and prep time, it encompassed an entire 8 hour shift. It would be quite easy for an officer in a car on patrol on a weekend night to nab at least one drunk driver. So if each cop at the checkpoint had actually been on patrol, and found just one impaired driver during his or her 8 hour shift, then 90 would have arrested, not 19. Hell, even if only half the officers got a drunk, then it would still have gotten 45 drunks off the road. > > Here is a checkpoint that was quite effective. > [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21505860/](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21505860/) 19 arrest…ok dip ship you wanna run numbers… 19 arrest that means 19 people 19 cars take average 2 car per person…38 people…takeing that if you go to a bar usually you got someone with you in a car… 38 people so far… 19 cars with a drunk driver…19 chances to have a collision with another car…19 more people 57 people…take the average 2 persons per car… total 76 lives saved… 76 mothers and fathers that dont have to make funeral arrangements for there children 76 sons and daughters that dont have to grow up wondering who there parents where…cause they made a bad decision so you can take your fucking .3 percent and shove it right up your ass… and as for officers on patrol,…ha…yeah right…its hard enough to get them to stay awake while pulling traffic duty let alone to get them out of there cars on patrol at night…that would mean overtime and the same amount of money it cost to run the checkpoint it would cost to have half them out there on foot patrol on overtime… ---

Maybe I should try drinking and driving. So, if you’re driving 2 cars, get pulled over, and blow a .10… does that mean you’re off scot-free? You’re only doing .05 per car. > [@NYIRP: Wednesday 8/1/07](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nyirp-wednesday-8-1-07/33179/69): > > By your logic, 76 people die any given night that that there are drunks out driving with no DUI checkpoints… No, that’s a false conclusion. Actually, no people die, cause there’s no way to show there are 19 drunks driving. I like the way you think, though, tsi. > [@WTF...bike accident on the 400???](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtf-bike-accident-on-the-400/33250/10): > > 19 arrest that means 19 people 19 cars take average 2 car per person…38 people…takeing that if you go to a bar usually you got someone with you in a car… > > 38 people so far… > > 19 cars with a drunk driver…19 chances to have a collision with another car…19 more people 57 people…take the average 2 persons per car… > > total 76 lives saved… How do you figure this? Not everyone who drives after having a drink kills someone, and not everyone who is killed in a traffic accident is done in by a drunk driver. In fact… In 2005, 39% of total traffic fatalities were alcohol-related. Please note that the term ‘alcohol-related’ does not indicate that a crash or fatality was _caused_ by the presence of alcohol in the driver’s system. If a sober driver kills an alcohol-impaired pedestrian, it’s still considered an alcohol-related crash. Therefore, the majority of traffic deaths involved drivers who had _not_ been drinking. And, as always, please remember the founder of MADD was convicted, well after starting this movement, of, (fanfare…) DUI.
