Road Sobriety Checkpoints From March 8 – 10
The Bermuda Police Service [BPS] will be conducting road sobriety checkpoints again this weekend, set to take place in Hamilton parish, Devonshire, Pembroke, Paget, Warwick and Southampton.
A police spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Police Service would like to advise the public that the next series of road sobriety checkpoints [as specified in the Official Gazette Notice Tuesday, February 26th] will be conducted starting this Friday, March 8th.
“The checkpoints will be in effect in Hamilton parish, Devonshire, Pembroke, Paget, Warwick and Southampton on Friday, March 8th, Saturday, March 9th and Sunday, March 10th.”
Do they need probable cause to stop a person..if not this is a violation of our human rights.. i understand a person swerving all over the place, but for the sober ppl its a straight up violation amd goes against the constitution
As simplistic as this might sound I believe that when the constitutional issue was raised early on in the drafting of the legislation (ie; it was not overlooked) it resulted in announcements having to me made of the dates and locations of said check points.
When did you protest against “stop and search” unconstitutionality? They should stop people driving away from bars where they could prevent many more than 1-3 intoxicated persons from driving for a night of RSC’s in 6 parishes.
we live in a society where when someone takes a life on the roads, the rest of society is inconvenienced and punished for their actions.
None of these comments answered my question!
If they didn’t announce it then it would be illegal stop etc and against the constitution but by announcing it…they can “legally” pull you over without probable cause unfortunately.
Did you have a predetermined answer in mind or did you not like what I posted ?
It is so stupid to publis where these checkpoints will be held.
BERMUDA IS SO BACKWARDS.
This system is absolutely rediculous.
Toddle loo tou if i had an answer ehy would i ask. And ok jus wondering yours was helpful.. it still seems like their announcing to violate our rights.
