There's a place where you could add a comment, but I can't do that when I'm driving. I don't think NYPD is going to get what they want here. Apparently DUI checkpoints aren't even legal in every state. I know they have them in Ft Lauderdale all the time, but the police usually post the place and time in the newspaper before they even set it up.
