Drivers “Flock” To DUI Checkpoint

Drive sober in Salinas, California, and Tuesday could be your lucky night. At a certain DUI checkpoint, some motorists who pass through will be awarded a free turkey!

This is the seventh year Salinas police have added a giveaway to the Thanksgiving week DUI checkpoint.

It’s become so popular, Salinas police are now asking drivers not to go through the checkpoint more than once just to try to win a turkey.

Police keep the location secret ahead of set up.

The turkeys were donated by police, businesses, and private citizens. Link -via J-Walk Blog

We have to give people treats to stop them from driving drunk.

Hey, they could use the fines from DUI to pay for the turkey. Why is anyone donating? :p

@Mitch

I think their whole point of his is to reward those who don’t drive drunk for their inconvenience on a holiday, because people that drive drunk are going to do so anyways.

Wow, what a great way to distract people from the fact that California completely disregards their constitutional rights.
