    I’m sorry to say I actually know two people who spoke up about it on facebook. Instead of warning people about the checkpoint, how about telling them to stop f’n driving when they shouldn’t! You want to drink, or get high, or do other stupid ish, I could not give a F, but as soon as your BS start putting other peoples lives or property as risk, then you crossed the line.

    I guess some people just want to have somebody they know injured or killed by one of the following: an intoxicated, an unlicensed, or perhaps just somebody who has not been burdened by an overabundance of smarts. Do the rest of us a favor, get drunk and drive off a cliff. Oh, but then LASD, LACFD, CHP and who know who else might have to respond and get paid to investigate and rescue them. I guess first responders can just stay home and not get paid, or go do something more important. Works for me.

    There’s a whole bunch of money thrown at what? A BIG FAT NOTHING….AGAIN!!

    They should just walk around the Sheriff’s Dept. there in Palmpton, and start handin out bonuses with that jack. I don’t see a difference….Get a bonus standing on 47th, or standing at the station. BONUSES ALL AROUND!! Ya don’t have to do anything! Just show up!!

      They have to let people know by law there is a check point. But I use social media like crazy, I didnt know where the check point was. I actually didn’t care. I have nothing to hide.
