I was looking around at upcoming check points. Noticed a few things, No checkpoints in Shebly or Davidson county, not sure why? Anyone??? Are metro and Sheriffs only allowed to do them in large metro areas?
Also it looks like District 5 Fall Branch is going to be really busy. August 2013 list |
| Lots of driver's license check points for Dist 5 Hamblen county. They also have set an alternate location for the check points. We have a MAJOR problem with a Hispanic population which is growing at an exponential rate. Sadly state law does not allow our local law enforcement to address the real issue of citizenship. The Feds have refused to help according to a speech given by our Sheriff durning the last election. We have our own little Mexico..... |
| Never seen a DL checkpoint. Local law enforcement can not do a DL checkpoint THP can but no local. Also THP doesn't have to be present for a county or city agency to conduct a DUI checkpoint. It is recommend to use state approved locations due to laws reguarding "escape routes", visibility, distances for proper signage, etc... |
| THP rarely works in cities. Especially larger ones. That's is not to say they don't but it is not very common. The spend most of their time assisting county departments, and commercial accidents. They also provide security for the capital and a few other places. |
