These are one of the biggest wastes of money around. These guys sit out there for hours and bringing construction equipment along to shut down the highway and catch a couple of people. seems ke they should be able to do that with normal patrolling. Just trying to justify overtime.
I heard there was an accident in Salisbury last night on 13 with two overturned vehicles.Scary-lots of inebriated drivers are on the road on holidays.
So they violate the rights of at least 194 people {prolly x2 p/veh} to ticket 3 persons? And this cost taxpayers how much per scam? To inconvenience this many people and all this overtime...but the biggest is the violation of peoples rights!
2:25 I Agrre, They Setup These Check points In The Wrong Area.
They Should Of Setup On Back Roads Where All The Drunks Where Riding Around There Check Points!
did salisbury have any check points last night?
