From what I have read in the past on a typical weekend before the roadside sobriety check points were put into place the numbers were around 5 or 6 per weekend.

How is 5 acceptable and the BPS feeling comfortable releasing those numbers.

Also, don’t tell me it is because people were the message is getting out and people are changing behavior because that is a pack of nonsense.

Reality is, if you were to set up a check point at 1pm on a Sunday after Church you would get 5 (including the priest who downed the extra communion wine.)

Typical BPS, start off with a bang then peter out. Remember, MOST of the deaths take place in the summer. BPS, take the finger out and get busy! You talk big with the notices saying there will be Sobriety Checks but you don’t enforce like you did in the beginning.

Evidently the word gets out where the locations are so people avoid them
Go back to having the police road team scattered around the island and I’m sure you would get better results than stopping people for no reason which btw is unconstitutional

Is it 5 hours ? Is it 3 days. There is nothing cruel or barbaric about placing a person before the Court within a week of his arrest
The process needs to happen.too many give a good laugh.
