    @Duh,- Excellent idea, best I’ve heard so far for west end..everyone must pass the bridge and cameras should be put up both ways to see clearly those coming in and out, that are not in boats of course!

    • JustSayin says:

      soooo what if i went to visit my girlfriend to drop something off and then went home and was in that time frame. are you just gonna arrest everyone that crosses the bridge. how will that help?!?! and how will that prove anything. all it proves is that you went over the bridge. doesn’t mean you have a gun, shot a gun, attempted to kill someone, or even murdered someone. lets not just point fingers and throw out crazy ideas. they have to have some weight to them. especially if your going to slam the BPS. Just Sayin…..
