Who would have anticipated such issues?
Austin, for comparison:
Lincoln Parish/Ruston arrested more people for DUI every weekend than were arrested in EBR (according to my reading of the Advocate for years, in the mid 90s to mid 2000s) despite having 5-10% of the overall population of EBR.
Austin, for comparison:

In May of 2016, the same month Uber and Lyft made the decision to leave Austin, the monthly rate of drunk driving incidents was down to an average of 358. However, within the first few months of Uber and Lyft’s absence, the number of DUI arrests increased by 7.5 percent from the previous year. In the month of July alone, the city had 476 drunk driving arrests.

I am being told by people inside the department that they are fielding something like 600 uniform officers to cover the entire city 24/7. That's scary as hell.
I hear similar numbers.

Good. Spend time on murders and don’t worry about DWI checkpoints. I’m good with that….if they spent the time on murders…

That number is amazing
Back when BRPD had those checkpoints they’d get that number ST Patrick’s day parade weekend

Yeah I would’ve deleted that

Always been mind boggling to me that with DWIs you get the same penalty for blowing a .08, 1.8, or 2.8 etc.
Basically you get the same penalty if you drink 2 beers as opposed to 2 cases of beer.

They have bigger things to worry about

Cops are a rare site and they aren’t pulling anyone over unless they are forced to.

I think the penalty for blowing a 1.8 or 2.8 is death

How many of those is for that city councilman?

When I'm working in Orleans parish, I treat red lights as stop signs. It's the wild west out there

Good to know. Still not going to Nola

My question for NOPD:

This is nothing, homicides are solved or cleared at a 50% rate in this country. And in cities like Nola it’s prob under 40%.
Now of course they will say racism because no one cares about black people being murdered. But they also recently rioted and called to defund the police.
So if you police them, it’s racist. If you don’t, it’s racist.

I feel the opposite. White people with white collar job ain’t getting murdered. It’s mostly thug on thug shootings. Let them kill each other. But I certainly am at risk for getting ran over by drunks.
It’s not really the need for checkpoints though. You can hit a parked car, throw up on your shoes, and have slurred words … they’ll still let you go

I know of someone that 3 on Westend Blvd in a 2 year timeframe. Dude was living in the wrong timeframe.

There are no cops to be seen in Nola. I don't drive drunk but if I decided to start, now would be the time. It's the wild west.
