HOW DUMB IS THIS? WHY ANNOUNCE WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO BE?

WHY NOT JUST SET UP AND CATCH PEOPLE?

Who knows??!! I asked myself that question a dozen times! Maybe it's because if someone gets a violation because of a road check that WASN'T announced, the "violator" could get out of the charge by claiming "entrappment". That's just a wild guess, who knows anymore?!

You wanna' know what's even more idiotic? People still get tickets even after being told where the checkpoints are gonna' be. "Hey there's a checkpoint set up over there, let me break the speed limit and not have on my seatbelt"...lol.

It's like Ron White says:

"YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID"

LYNFO25:

Don't forget, they also have to crack open a beer right before they get to the checkpoint! HA..lol.
