The practice of forewarning the population when State Troopers will be setting traps to catch violators sure seems contrary to prudent law enforcement procedure. Maybe so, but that's exactly how it is done in Ohio. Staff writer Jonathan Tressler reports in a News-Herald article that the troopers'
. . . next big mobilization will focus on drunk drivers, . . . scheduled for June 27 through July 13 and will include sobriety checkpoints and extra DUI enforcement, according to Ohio Highway Patrol spokeswoman Ashley Ellis.
Additionally, a campaign to enhance compliance with the seat belt law
. . . is slated for Aug. 20 through Sept. 2, to coincide with Labor Day, the patrol reports.
I don't know if other states have similar practices, but it sure is nice that Ohio does. Now if we can just get them to tell us where the checkpoints will be.
