Seriously, they tell us that the roadblocks are there for our own good- to get the drunk drivers off the road...a good point. If that is why they are there, then why do they also write tickets for expired plates, window tint, inspection stickers, etc., etc? Might it have something to do with revenue? When I grew up in Lake Charles, I rarely saw a police car and there was very little serious crime. Now, on a typical day, while driving from Moss Bluff to south Lake Charles, I will see 4-6 sheriff's units, 1 or 2 city units, homeland security, and US Border Patrol. Funny, I don't feel any safer. |

Raymond-
Don't get me wrong-I realize that law enforcement is necessary. I'm just saying that they are using drunk drivers as an excuse to throw up roadblocks for any given reason including random vehicle inspections. I really don't see that many junkers on the roads these days although I have read that 30-40% of La. drivers don't have insurance. That's why I have to carry uninsured motorist. I guess I'm just getting a little weary of having to go through so many checkpoints. Around here they are happy to brag about how many tickets they have issued for expired license plate tags or tinted windows. I doubt that those expired stickers have killed very many people. Sorry for venting. It seems like I have to spend way too much time to keep the government off my back- city, parish, state, & federal. |
