DWI Checkpoint in Mason Police District

Fairfax County police officers from around the county will conduct a sobriety checkpoint to deter and apprehend intoxicated drivers on Saturday, October 10 from 11:30 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. Sunday. 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.


You know the drill...

Number of vehicles stopped
Number of DWI/DUI
Number of misc offenses


Remember this is a checkpoint and not a directed patrol, so the ratio of citizens detained/delayed to useful arrests will be much higher than directed patrols.

Number of vehicles stopped: 387
Number of DWI/DUI: 1
Number of misc offenses: 7

Total time wasted for the 379 law abiding citizens: 31.58 hours (379 drivers * 5 minutes wasted, divided by 60 minutes.)

The function of conservatives is not to meet every liberal program or scheme with a denunciation or a destructive counterscheme, but rather to weigh its advantages and defects, supporting the first and challenging the second. A declaration of ideological warfare against liberalism is by its nature profoundly unconservative. It meets perceived radicalism with a counterradicalism of its own.

No, BDImag is the clear winner, he did not go over on the total stopped. we have always played this price-is-right style in the past, so congrats BDImag! nice showing, Warhawk.

Congrats BDImag! Consolation to Warhawk.

"without going over in any one or more category" has always been in the rules.

We would need a consensus of 2/3 of the registered users to agree to amend the rules. It is just not worth the hassle.
