they dont do it every night.
but definitely on nights such as big high school dances, or Saint Patricks day, or 4th of July even, why?
to fucking keep DRUNK DRIVERS off the road.
nothing to do with terrorits or keeping tabs on the cities people.
New Orleans is known for what? Its ALCOHOL and Mardi Gras, if you think for a minute they dont wait for those times to set up road checks to help keep drunks off the road you are surely mistaken, this has been going on forever.
turn off cnn for a second and think.
everything we do is NOT because of TERRORISM or BIG BROTHER>
i know i feel safer driving during mardi gras knowing they will at least TRY to help keep drunk drivers off the road, i guess you dont care about those things, I do.
road traps are only used at certain times, its not a regular practice, and no doubt, the 'fear' of them keep many home instead of out drinking and driving, and i guess thats good enough.
and its not a big deal, all the ones I have been involved in, you dont even get out of your car.
You simply hold your drives license to the window as you drive by slowly.
my car at the time had a sunroof, i held my id out the top, the cop didnt even stop me fully, but waved me pass.
man my rights were sooo violated.
hahaha
