I think it is ironic that instead of applauding the few number of DUI arrests, people have to criticize. Of course these same critics would complain if we had multiple arrests too. Either way it is a lose lose situation. Way to stay positive! For you cynics, perhaps people were more responsible when drinking last night.
Secondly, I am glad you have a such high opinion of Grove City. I am sure the city you call home, the residents are perfect. I can tell by your attention to spelling and grammar, you come from a community with a legacy of quality education. You are certainly representing them quite well in a public forum!
If that doesn’t prove the point that DUI Cejckpoints are totally WORTHLESS I don’t know what will ... Grovetucky where they should have caught 2 dozen or more turns up 1 ?
Time to end this waate of resources and get officers on patrol looking for dangerous drivers.
Yeah, 1 dui, heck, they usually do better than that on a regular night. But, what the hay, if you have the surplus of money, why not spend it.
man now i know why i felt so safe last night. one whole arrest. they would be better off roaming areas with heavy patrol. im suprised they didnt call the dui an attempted manslaughter after the million dollar bust.
