Man- we really nailed 'em last night didn't we?
The KC-MO Police set up sobriety checkpoints on a couple of I-70 freeway ramps (of all places) last night and early Saturday.
Out of 154 vehicles stopped- only 4 drivers were actually arrested for DUI or 2.6% of all motorists stopped at the checkpoint.
Four drunk drivers caught in around 6 hours of "checkpoint" for more than 2 dozen cops.
Meanwhile east of these goings-on- Independence police worked 2 separate fatality crashes caused by suspected intoxicated drivers of a motorcycle and a car.
Meanwhile in KC-MO proper- I monitored at least 5 crashes where possibly drivers under the influence were involved- 3 of those crashes were on U.S. 71 in South Midtown- 2 others were in the Northland.
The streets are very active on weekends- imagine how many drunks and other criminals the more than 2 dozen cops patrolling those streets instead of sitting at sobriety checkpoints could catch?
Oh- but those sobriety-sitters caught 4 drunks out of 154 motorists!
Like I said- we really nailed 'em last night didn't we?
