Huh. In NJ, anyway, police are required to post advance public notice of DUI checkpoints.
I don't see how this could possibly be enforced. Is it illegal to call up your friend and tell them there's a checkpoint somewhere on public roads? I can't see that as possible. Ham handed blunt force ineffective intimidation is all I see this as. |
Does NYPD really think the app reports checkpoints? They must be as stupid as the so called leader of the USA.
Or maybe I need an update for Waze, as it only notifies me of police, it doesn't specify checkpoint. Also, I didn't know until yesterday that Google owns Waze, might explain issues with Apple carplay |

Pretty sure GM doesn't allow comments, or I haven't figured out how to use that, one or the other |
Typical NYPD overreach..

Something else to call your buddy that's had 18 beers in the last five hours and say, "Hey, there's a police checkpoint ahead looking for drunks and I know you're smashed. If you bypass it, you probably won't get busted." |
