The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office and the Midwest City Police Department will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint Saturday (02.20.2010) night to decrease the number of alcohol related car crashes and promote a safer environment for the general public.

where?

The location(s) can't be disclosed. Obviously it's Midwest City, so avoid the city that night.

Or you could just avoid drunk driving.

Then you're 100% sure not to get a DUI.

Oh.. and pay your insurance.

Why would you even post this? There should be no "avoid the checkpoint" sentiment. I think these checkpoints should be out every night -- there are too many drunk and uninsured drivers out on the roads.

easternobserver, some of us do not like the traffic delay.

:congrats::congrats::congrats:

And no bail for those arrested. There is never an excuse to get behind the wheel of a car after drinking or under the influence of anything.

There is one more thing to add.... Make sure you have your license and a current insurance card on you as well.

I went through the one at 23rd and Spencer Road. They were checking every car so I had my stuff ready.

The whole event went like this....

Me: Good evening officers, how are you this evening?

Officer: Great, we are checking DL's, Insurance and Tags. Is everything up to date?

Me: Yes, sir. (I hand them my cards, they check my plates.)

Officer: Everything looks good sir. Thank you for your cooperation, you may go.

That took all of 3 minutes of my time.

sounds like a Jack booted thug invasion of my freedom of movement, and freedom of expression, unconstitutional issue to me........:woowoo:

That being said...........do what the man says, dont drink and drive, have a valid dirvers license, valid tag registration and insurance and you will be just fine......thank you please very much.:LolLolLol

Not if you're the only car on the roads for miles. jk. But in all reality, have a Drunk Decoy or a designated driver if you're going to go out over there tonight...or anywhere for that matter...

And if you don't have insurance, don't drive--EVER!

What's a Drunk Decoy?

Yeah I remember hearing something about that in our constitution like no illegal searches. Haha, I was tempted to take a stand one time but then I realized that these random drunk stops might actually keep drunks off the road. Besides it's a relatively painless search...now if they had on rubber gloves and said it was going to be a full body cavity search, I would have been http://www.okctalk.com/images/smilies/fighting30.gif lol
