Reply to comment by CoffeexCup in DUI checkpoint at 5:00? by spintiff

I wasn't sure if I had my current registration... So I just drove away from it. No crime against saving time.

I've got to go pick up my baby.

Oh, and my registration is good.

So stupid. Why not do this tomorrow? Are they trying to get some year end quota?

It was 5:15pm on the day before new years on a route people take to get home after work. They weren't looking for drunks at 5pm.

Probably being visible to make people think before they possibly drink and drive over the New Years holiday. Its more of a deterrent similar to a cop sitting on the highway doing radar is more about slowing down speeders than catching them and writing tickets. I used to go 55 plus over the Lee Bridge until I saw motorcycle cops sitting at the end. Made me think twice before gassing it on that straightaway.
