The weekend exercise most likely cost us tens of thousands in BPS overtime & regular hours. What is the ROI in the effort? Sheesh! You tell em when & where you will be. How much sense does that make?
Get out there at random high traffic places & at drinking times. Take discretionary penalty away from the courts. First offence, 3 month driving ban, enough to get the attention for most. Second offence, 6 month ban. Third offence, one year ban. Fourth, two year ban & so on.
Five years no DUI wipes record clean.
