Amazingly, Sanity Preveils in Oakland

It appears that the Oakland Mayor thought the suspension of DUI checkpoints because the local latino advocates were concerned over the number of no-license, no-insurance latinos caught in them. ( previously commented on as Stupid PC Police Chief Tricks )

“These checkpoints make people’s lives miserable, not make them safer,” said Jesus Rodriguez of Oakland Community Organizations, which filed most of the complaints about the checkpoints. “I’ve watched while the police have towed away cars (full) of groceries, leaving children crying on the sidewalk.”

Boo-hoo. Thankfully there Councilman Larry Reid who has it as close to right as anyone.

“I want the law enforced across the board,” Reid said. “If you have no license, no insurance, and you get stopped, your car will be towed.”

Such intolerance. ;)

Anyway… the Mayor has hereby terminated the moratorium saying “The whole thing was a dumb idea.“.

No kidding.
