THe DUI Roadblock LOCATION lottery
Posted by: Lester ()
Date: August 07, 2009 08:16AM

Ok, we always guess the number of people caught, but tougher is where.

I'll guess Reston this weekend, some where on the Fairfax Parkway in Sterling.

The rules are the person who posts nearest\most specific to the actual roadblock.

I predict it will be somewhere in the Mason District and not in Reston. Arlington Boulevard/Graham Road. The location will probably be changed after I post this, so you may assume I won the lottery.

You can change your location up to actual time the roadblock goes up.

Clever PGENS,

Fairfax County police officers from around the county will conduct a sobriety checkpoint to deter and apprehend intoxicated drivers on Friday, August 7 from 11:30 p.m.until 2:30 a.m. Saturday. All motorists will be stopped and drivers will be checked to assure that their abilities to drive have not been impaired by alcohol or drugs.

Humm,,,, Mason District?

I'll go with Arlington Boulevard near the intersection of Annandale Road. EDIT - The Westbound lanes.

I'll go with Arlington Blvd (westbound) and Graham Rd. (Lurker is changing it up just a little, but I think reuse and recycle is the best.)

If it is a "DWI Directed Patrol" (They did this last time they announced a Roadblock in Mason district [6/5]), I go with 50 Stops, 4 DWIs, 3 Additional criminal arrests, and 22 summonses for miscellaneous traffic offenses.

lol, that's why I made my post... I was mocking the "lottery" premise. FCPD announces the district ahead of time, and you can look back through the results news releases to find exact locations they had used in the past.

What really sucks in this DUI lottery is that I can't do my "price is right" trick on PGENS.

That clip would have been funny if they had somehow snuck the ball back under that one she picked up.

The press release says Mason District. So - - I 'll wager Leesburg Pike south of Seven Corners before the Civl War markers.

I was referring to the location lottery, I should have explained it better. The number of people busted part is fun to do.

It's at the intersection of Medford Drive and Little River Turnpike, headed westbound on Little River Turnpike (just inside of the beltway).

But, I will add, If you are under the influence of Alcohol or any other substance, you should not be driving. The above information is for sober people to avoid getting stuck in traffic.

does the op not know that they release the exact location of their sobriety checkpoints? its not much of a guessing game when you can just read the press release.

They don't release the location for at least a day afterwards, though.

So you just stay home.

I plan to tie up traffic by invoking the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

I will not be under the influence of alcohol or any other substance.

The winners are those who can look up the news releases to see the pre-announced areas and look up common locations from previous results releases. The losers are those that would rather guess where in the entire county a checkpoint might be.
