Back to the original topic, anyone notice that those two highways they set up on are the two main highways heading south through the state? In fact they wre the only two interstate highways heading from outside of GA into FL. I must use that as further proof that they are targeting folks who are not from that area (and consequently cant defend themself in court)

The checkpoints don't catch very many offenders. However, the cops that are hiding out near the checkpoints, whether in marked cars or unmarked, are the ones to catch people when they turn around or otherwise try to avoid the checkpoint. This is true whether it's a seatbelt, DUI, or some other checkpoint.

Chris in NY we do have inspections, but most of these cops arent doing safety checks on the bike just looking fo rstuff to ticket. Also we have a lot of riders who dont have licenses so thats been an issue.
A lot of the regular cops dont even know what to look for anyway, but they try to get you on mods you mkae. they will get you for the turnsignals, moving/obscuring your plate and now the exhausts. |

These checkpoints would better serve everyone if they would just toss them up in bar parking lots....

Up here they used to set up RIDE checkpoints (police DUI checks) down the street, on either side of bars and strip joints. The owners sued, on the basis of restraint of trade, and won.
