We took the dogs for a walk tonight and saw several police officers set up on Highway 15 just north of 58th Avenue, in front of the United Church. They're stopping all cars headed south. I figured they're looking for drivers who've been drinking. There were a couple of cars pulled over and their drivers - a younger fellow and an older man - standing nearby. An officer in a car was writing something up. A tow truck arrived and was preparing to hook up the car belonging to the younger man. Its a good place for them to set up. Cars round that curve and bang, there are the police. There is nowhere to go.
This is the first time I've seen the police set up for checking drinking drivers. I've seen them set up speeding traps and also where they pull over random cars for safety checks, mostly on 60th Avenue in the fairgrounds/Greenaway Park area.
I guess they're getting some business tonight keeping our streets safer.
