CPSO is doing a checkpoint somewhere in the parish. I'd imagine it will be in Lake Charles somewhere...willing to take bets

In a continuing effort to keep the citizens of Calcasieu Parish safe, the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a DWI/seatbelt checkpoint at an undisclosed location in the parish on Friday January 23.
This checkpoint will target individuals driving under the influence of alcohol and/or narcotics; as well as, people who are not wearing their seatbelt.
They have proven to be very effective in discouraging citizens from driving while impaired and people are more likely to designate a driver when they know sobriety checkpoints are being conducted.
This checkpoint is funded by a grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.

they have to. the Supreme Court thought this restriction was enough of an exchange for destroying our rights
Calcasieu does a really poor job of advertising them, though. I think I'm going to make a page on FB for checkpoints

this belief has nothing to do with being an attorney and i held it LONG before i thought of going to law school
the war on drugs (and alcohol) have complete aborted our constitutional protections
