Yeah, by law (in CA anyway) they have to list them in the paper before hand, but boy do they make it difficult to find. Ran into one a couple months ago, I hadnt been drinking yet, but what I found funny was they set it up right after a major intersection, so as long as you were paying attention you could have gone and made a right or a left, legally and gone right around it

you could bring up google maps, drink your face off and plot your course home accordingly
They should be illegal anyway, if you are driving over the limit and obeying all the laws, then WTF. You should not be stopped for no violation just to be checked out, its bullshit. I think I read they may have given up on them in my town since it costs so much and the ROI is shit. I think they got 1 DUI last time.well that's why we don't list them

I went to the drive in, was smoking some weed and drove home into a checkstop..
the road is right by here (my work) and kind of a downwards funnel where you can't see over the grade...
cops made us pull in diagonally and my cop had to jump back a little because I almost ran over his foot pulling in
I rattled off the movies I had seen, showed him a big drive coke cup and he let me go....beside my cup was a pipe and rather large bag of chiba
Dont steal the bike = dont get charged with a felony.

Really? It's big business in metro Denver, their annual "Heat Is On" DUI enforcement campaign started last weekend with Memorial Day and runs thru Labor Day. There are multiple checkpoints throughout the city all weekend long every weekend.
Exactly....it really is that simple
I just mean in the town I live in, they were running them once or twice a month for a while. Im sure the ones in LA are still running strong.
Isn't that the same as being harassed? Don't you need probable cause in this country? Random checks are no better than the Gurmans demanding "your paperss pleese!"
Well, it sounds like they are getting the bikes back, and it also sounds like a lot of people were/are having their bikes stolen. So sounds like a win to me.
EXACTLY!!!!
