A quick update to the Kansas City Police Department's more surprise-y sobriety checkpoints. The latest one was set up at 4040 Main Street from 11 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Saturday.
Officers stopped 663 vehicles and arrested 12 people on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Arrest rate: 1.8 percent.

We should never drink and drive, but I still like to know where checkpoints
will be in Orange County, San Diego, and LA. I may use calcheckpoint

Oh thats to bad they only nabbed less than 2% or about 12 people. Not as much revenue as I am sure they would have liked. But thats still over $60,000 in attorney fees, fines, court cost, and of course evaluations that are total BS.
Seriously? That used to be very near ground zero, in terms of location and time, for bar hoppers and partiers. I suspect the police need to have their breathalyzers calibrated, or that all the drunk drivers just detoured via Broadway, or that Midtown/Westport is no longer a destination or even a waypoint any more. Maybe they'd have better success nearer the PL District instead?
What a colossal waste of time and energy by the cops.
How many burglaries, sexual assaults and murders occurred around the city during this time period?
since they stop people anyway maybe they should do something useful like mandatory flu shots
