Patrol cracking down on intoxicated drivers

Thursday, December 2, 2010

Missouri Highway Patrol officers in Troop F in Central Missouri will work extra hours next week in a special enforcement effort to find impaired motorists.

Capt. Gregory D. Kindle, commanding officer of Troop F of the patrol, said the 13-county Mid-Missouri area has received a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Division for participation in the “You Drink & Drive, You Lose” campaign.

Kindle said enforcement efforts in Troop F will be increased from Dec. 6 through Dec. 12 to discourage people from driving while impaired this holiday season.

It's only overkill if they never catch anyone.

They don't think there is any cost if it is paid for by federal grants. Instead it is just an opportunity for good-ol boy law enforcement to earn some double and triple-time overtime just before the holidays.

Follow the money.
