POLICE WILL NOT RELEASE INFO

Call the Mount Vernon District Station and demand that you know where the "DWI" checkpoint is being held tonight. It's really stupid that they are allowed to even do it at all, but regardless, they are required by law to tell you where they are having it. They are not even following the law, although it's an attempt to enforce another. Ah, the irony.

Checkpoint or not it is too risky to drive around after having more than enough. Look at a ballpark cost of $7,000 for a lawyer and fines. Doesnt include the future cost of car insurance. Much cheaper for a $25.00 cab ride.

Even if you are paying attention some idiot can always run into you and there you are waiting for the cop to give this guy a $50.00 ticket for not paying attention and you get hauled away for DWI. It aint fair but it is life.

Oh yeah you get the fun of spending the night in lockup with the real winners of society. If you like the smell of bleach and vomit go for it.

If one of our 23 volunteers sees you leave a bar (after hours of drinking) or driving strange you will not need to worry about the check points. We will follow you and call the police on cell phones.Since our start the NOVA chapter of D.C.P. has reported 367 persons for drunk driving and many were arrested including a recent Habitual offender.There is no escape from a citizen with a cell phone once you have been spotted driving drunk.
Average time till the police arrived and made a vehicle stop:
Fairfax county 3 minutes
Loundon county 4 1/2 minutes
Prince William 3 minutes
Alexandria 2 minutes
Arlington 2 1/2 minutes
These averages are through October 2006,we track them in two month periods.Several bars known to be serving intoxicated people are being watched this Holiday season.Merry Christmas and be safe.

well, SOMEONE has to speak up for drunk driving here. I mean, it's getting railed on pretty hard here.

I say if you know you're going to be driving and you're drunk, make sure you have three more drinks before you hit the wheel. And make sure you drive 20 over.

To DCP I find your time estimates interesting. Fairfax county three minutes? It would take that long for a call taker to enter your information and get it to a dispatcher. the dispatcher would then have to locate a car to handle it. The cop would then have to drive to where you are and make the stop. Very doubtful it would take three minutes to do all that.
4 1/2 minutes in Loudoun? That county is so big it stretches to the W Va border.

Also the cops cannot make a traffic stop for this type of violation based only on your observations unless they see it for themselves. Otherwise angry ex-wives would be calling in their husbands every time he went to work just to f with him.

Why doesn't DCP actually do something useful and try and keep the metro open longer. or give free ride to metro stations. Or hell drive are cars home for us!

Following drunk people around is not the answer.

Sober ride is a joke at 1-2 in the morning when your ready to leave the bar. It takes 2 hours just to get a cab, hell I’ll be sober by then. If your in DC then forget about it all together.

We have one of the best metro’s in the country and close it at 3am, usually before that depending on what station your at and where you want to go. Is it really that hard to keep it open 24 hours on holidays. Some clubs/bars in DC don’t close until 5am.
But at 5 in the morning I won’t have to worry about checkpoints

Ah hah, but if I drive in DC you are the ones violating the law using the cell phone while driving.

Jesus Christ. Here's a novel idea. Let's hang around bars and follow random people we professionally deem to be unsuitable to drive a car thus being in our own esteemed opinion a serious hazard to the road. We will then follow said people ourselves creating an even greater hazard on the road.

Shouldn't you be petitioning congress to bring back alcohol prohibition or something? It worked so well and saved so many people, and our esteemed state that makes 100% profit off of "controlling" or rather monopolizing hard alcohol for themselves (and keeping it out of the hands of precious minors) just makes real drugs that much more of a viable un-IDed untaxed option.

I just can't imagine anybody risking a DWI...

I got caught back in '82, and it was one of the worst (and expensive) experiences of my life. I was blistered (.22 BAC) but was not involved in an accident. By the time you pay the attorney, fines, ASAP fees, higher insurance rates (mine TRIPLED for 5 years), towing and storage, etc. you're talking thousands of dollars. I was also sentenced to 100 hours of community service part of which I spent painting every trash can at Great Falls Park. Not to mention my license was restricted to "to and from work only" for 6 months.

And then all the bullshit you have to put up with in the ASAP program (I did Arlington's...one of the toughest). The higher your BAC the more shit they they put you through....and for longer...they kept me in the program for over a year...including weekly AA meetings. Talk back to them...and it gets even worse. They kept me that long because I REFUSED to go on AntAbuse.

Waiting 2 hours for a cab (I've never waited anywhere near that long) ain't NUTHIN compared to the years of crap a DWI will cost you.

Do you want to know why the cop said he stopped me? A burned out taillight! Do you know when your next bulb will burn out???

They made a believer out of me, that's for goddamned sure. Though I still regularly go out and get trashed, I haven't driven after even ONE beer since that night. My DWI is burned so deep into my memory that, even if I'm super wasted, I still have enough sense left to stay the hell out of the driver's seat.

And that was almost 25 years ago....God knows what put they put drunk drivers through nowadays....I'll never find out!

Hey Dumb Shit. If the police told you where the check point was going to be then you would drive around the check point and that would defeat the entire purpose of the thing. This way at least you will think about another way home besides driving yourself. I don't agree with the check points but how fucking stupid can you be to complain about the police not telling you where they are going to set it up. I give you an "A" for effort. Calling the station to ask how to avoid being arrested does have its creative points but you are still a moron. Next you will want them to tell you where they are doing stakeouts so the criminals will simply go to another neighborhood. Do us all a favor and dump a little chlorine into your gene pool.

You guys are funny as hell. Area departments put out press releases prior to and after a checkpoint. Prior to tells you where and when, after tells you the results.

Check the departments "Press release" section on their website.

The purpose isnt just to lock up drunk drivers, its also for public awareness and to deter drinking and driving to begin with (note I am not making a statement one way or the other as to how effective this is). There is no big brother conspiracy going on, the info is all made public.

Not rendering an opinion one way or the other, but the bullshit flag needs to be flown for some of the posts on this thread...Feel the need to correct completely wrong info being posted.

But they do not name the exact place. A few weeks ago the "fair oaks" cops said they would be having a stop in their district, and indeed they did, at the border where their district meets loudon county.

The checkpoints are to "DETER" drinking and driving. If people know there is a checkpoint they are most likely going to alter their drinking habits. That's why the county does the press releases.

As for if they are effective, 50/50. I'd say they do effect residents driving habits. However being EFFECTIVE at actually catching drunk drivers, certainly patrols do a better job at identifying and catching because they can pinpoint more motorists in a broader area.

Police do not have to release the info on when and where they will have checkpoints. Like someone said before, Fairfax usually releases the info on the DMV website and even in some newspapers (especially around holiday seasons) mainly to raise awareness and to let John Q. Public know that they are actually out there doing there jobs. They in no way have to release that info on the checkpoints.
Also it does deter people from drinking and driving. I know a few times when I knew there was going to be checkpoint out that night I made sure I wasn't going to be driving after drinking that night.

And YES, they need to open the metro all night!

Checkpoints absolutely go against Constitution

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Yes they are. Look it up!

The basic regulations governing DWI checkpoints were laid out many years ago by the US Supreme Court in Michigan State Police v. Sitz, 496 US 444 (1990), and the New York State Court of Appeals in People v. Scott, 63 NY2d 518 (1984), which ruled that the use of DWI checkpoints by law enforcement is permissible under the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution if certain criteria are followed. These criteria can be summarized as follows:

First, the DWI checkpoint must be conducted pursuant to explicit regulations which circumscribe the discretion of the officers in terms of site selection for the location of the roadblock.

Second, the regulations must require that vehicles be stopped according to wholly uniform and neutral criteria, such as the stopping of every car or every fourth car.

Third, the initial observation and questioning must be brief and limited to inquiries regarding the driver's license, vehicle registration, insurance and proof of inspection; see Sitz at pp. 453; Scott at pp. 526-27.
Based on these and other court rulings, most law enforcement agencies have adopted written regulations for use in conducting their DWI checkpoints. Checkpoints conducted pursuant to such guidelines insure that totally objective and neutral criteria are utilized by the officers in determining who gets stopped and that the intrusion on the motorist remains minimal.

What I can't believe is that people are still free to choose and practice any crazy religion they want. Those who have not chosen Christ as their answer are doomed to burn for eternity. This needs to be codified in our national document.

Gentlemen

The affectionate sentiments of esteem & approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful & zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, and in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more & more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man & his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state. [Congress thus inhibited from acts respecting religion, and the Executive authorised only to execute their acts, I have refrained from presenting even occasional performances of devotion presented indeed legally where an Executive is the legal head of a national church, but subject here, as religious exercises only to the voluntary regulations and discipline of each respective sect.] Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.
