you cant make this stuff up. so how many keystone kops for how many hours stopping how many drivers and meanwhile the heroin dealers in sby keep plying their wares! great job occifers! NOT!
The Gestapo USED to post the number of innocent people they stopped, questioned, searched, and harrassed. I suppose even they can't help but see that stopping and searching hundreds of innocent people to find SOMEONE, ANYONE who MAY be, possibly, in some way or another, committing a crime is not what should be happening in a republic. We have becomed conditioned to believe that once you are out of your house (and even THAT is coming under fire), the police and government have every right to do whatever they want to, including robbing you at gunpoint or killing you for saying something or SCARING them. And stop with the "if we can save just ONE person....." Right. We could also stop a lot of gun violence if we had the Gestapo do random, intensive, unannounced house to house searches, without a warrant of course. You're good with that? You are!? You should be ashamed, but you're too busy cheering.
7:44 over in that area the main source of heroin is Selbyville, Delaware. If that roadblock had been set up on rt. 113 just south of the Delaware line they would have had different results.
8:05...lol...the Gestapo under Hitler made a lot of money, too. Things went pretty well for them, too. Even though they knew the population hated them, they were not "bothered by it". It didn't last very long. Sooner or later, especially with an armed citizenry, that will come to an end. History DOES repeat itself. Oh yeah, "I was just following orders!" won't save anyone this time around, either.
Small in-roads. Just had a nice bust with MD/DE working together last week. Need to get the main suppliers (ala cut the head off) and establish that the eastern shore will not be a haven for this. It takes time, which I know no one has...but its only true.

Well except for the safer roads bit I might agree with you. Seems to me police only enforce the traffic laws that they can get a quick conviction on and a higher amount of revenue that they could be enforcing other traffic laws such as tailgating and impeding.
If I don't have someone 10 from my bumper I have another blocking me in so I can't pass or move over. And then there are idiots who try to bully their way into a lane. But I might as well just talk to my monitor. Since the police won't address these issues they will never change and people will just keep driving any kind of way they want.
The next time you see 4-12 cars lined up in a lane (probably the left one) all with damage and fluid leaking out, ask yourself how so many could be involved in a single accident.
All that money in manpower and overtime for 1 DUI! Put a few unmarked cars outside of the country clubs/yacht clubs on a Friday/Saturday night or when they have league night.
The first person with a cell phone that sees a checkpoint calls everybody they know. Then THEY call everybody they know. Game over. Saturation patrols work better.

Yes I made my ot money and things went well. Hate all you want it will not bother me.
Too funny that the cop brags about making overtime. MSP are revenue collectors. So glad we moved out of MD, it is as bad as CA/NY. Blue state.
