amen passingthrough and sargon,,for a added checkpoint right ouside the fraternal order of police lodges on meeting nights,,,do you think the police would do that?

7 out of 10 deaths on the highway are caused by careless,negligent,pre-occupied,cellphone,texting and overall stupidity and ignorance of the law drivers,,would you want a pilot of an airplane or a train engineer(LA 26 KILLED) texting or talking on a cellphone while driveing/flying,,, if its in the name of safety why do we allow this? we know it causes"accidents",,the definition of a accident is something unforseen,,a tree hits your car, your wheel falls off ect,,to call careless and negligence a accident is a cop out,,in some countrys a moveing violation will get you 15 days in jail and your drivers rights taken for 2 years,,we choose to call careless operators having wrecks and hurting people or killing people, as long as they havent drank,,they had a accident or a boo boo,,would you feel better if you were parleized by a sober driver??at least someone drunk has a reason to wreck,,and if all of this aint about money and harassment and seat belt are so important,why do most school buses have no seat belts??its okay for the government to endanger(their term) children,but noone else,,its just a money grab by the police,,and a way to harass people with their gastopo check points,,welcome to germany ww2 or modern day CHINA on our 4th of july,,,

darwinsservant-ever get sick of the taste of blue butt? you're an authority junkie-probably got a scanner,fake lights on your car-loser.

i for one think you should not drink and drive if you know someone who does not drink ask them to drive or call someone to come take you home because if you drink& drive and cause a wreck and kill someone you will be in a lot of trouble and think of the family who lost a family member because of you if i want to drink i will stay home and drink or call a cab and belive me if any of my family got killed by a drunk driver i would darn well make sure the drunk got life or the death pentely i had my say now to wish you all a harry 4th of july and stay safe

Hey how about beefing up patrol in OTR, Walnut Hills, and Colerain Twp. seeing how I just read about the murders there just overnight? I guess the police aren't concerned for the safety there? Just wonderin is all!

If getting people over the .08% limit is so important, than set up a checkpoint outside of an Applebee's, Red Lobster or any of the thousands of bars that cater to drinking. If I could go back twenty/thirty years and tell you that you would be stopped on the streets and be forced to "show your papers" and submit to a mdical test, you would probably think I was talking about the USSR...

Hey darwin I get it, But now you get pinged for seat belts front tags ect... Its all about the $$$$$$$$$$$

It would be fine if it was just for the drivers who are rally drunk or under the influence, but they have the law and limit set so low it traps people who are not under the influence...and once you are accused, you are guilty just like the old inquisition. I don't promote drinking and driving at all, but I also don't promote harrassing law abiding citizens to make money.

Sargon and Passingthrough...Do us all a favor and go on a ride-along with an Ambulance crew on a weekend night, see the carnage and suffering caused by these drunkin' Billy-Bobs and then come back here and say what you've said. It's HIGHLY likely you'll change your tune ! Perhaps you can even get together a grass-roots campaign, go to Columbus and lobby for easing the alcohol level for DUIs!...or if you "Medical" Marijuana crowd want to join in...just legalize drinking and driving, and see what happens. Likely YOU will eventually have someone you love killed, or worse...maimed for life-being fed and watered in a nursing home for the rest of their "life."....better build more Drake Hospitals....Oh Yeah...Sargon: Drake is run by tax dollars...no can't have that...I know, let's let YOU take care of them! Tax generators and doughnut eaters? Go join a Militia and get off the fence!

"We have essentially doubled our manpower due to some overtime postings and overlapping shifts," I guess that means that they are basically overstaffed!
