I don't understand why this type of situation or ones like it generate the complaints that they do. MP have a job to do and you should be happy that they are doing it. It's a darn if you do and a darn if you don't situation for us law enforcement folk. You want us to do our job, but only if it's not you who is being stopped or inconvenienced by it. This isn't directed at anybody here, just speaking in general. If you have any questions on why MP do what they do, I suggest you call and speak to them directly. I got stopped at a huge DWI check point the other night on the way home from work and I was very happy to see them doing it in my town. I enjoy reading all the "Captain Bonehead" threads on here and then after that I enjoy reading the MP complaint stories. Seems contradicting to me, but then again I'm just a cop and nobody knows my job better than the people who DON'T do it.
Hope everybody had a nice 4th! I worked
