If you read these posts enough, you know how much I love DUI checkpoints. I'm not a fan of anything where police are lining people up "checking their papers" and looking for crime without probable cause.
In addition, they are also ineffective. If you look at the numbers of DUI's they arrest at these checkpoints you'll find that the police would have arrested that many in a normal shift.
Now we get to add a homicide as part of the check point process. A man pulled out of the checkpoint and killed a motorcyclist during the ensuing chase.
This on the heals of a chase the week before that police backed off of because the driver was driving down the freeway at a high rate of speed with no lights on.
Congratulation Ohio Highway Patrol and Butler County Sheriff's Dept., hopefully John Kallmeyer's death was worth it.

The one story, (several years ago) that I loved was when The vice-president of MADD got popped for DUI...This DUI thing, which started out with good intentions has become just another tax on the working man.
Figures that democrats blame the cops. Are you forgetting that it was a person who caused my friend's death? Our society is so full of the "entitlement" garbage that I can't understand how democrats sleep at night -- must be no conscience, no work ethic! Drive with a valid license, pay for automobile insurance, and call a cab or take a bus if you drink -- these are the things that will never happen, but would remove the need for DUI checkpoints. Get a grip and get a working brain!
