Stepped Up DWI Enforcement Planned Through St. Paddy's Day
Gloucester Township police say they will be out in force on designated roads.
The temptation to drink and drive is likely to hit a crescendo this weekend with St. Patrick's Day falling on Sunday.
Township police want to send a strong message that it's not a good idea.
Police say they will be conducting DWI saturation patrols over the weekend beginning Friday. They will target road known for high DWI arrests and accidents.
The New Jersey State Police reported 627 fatal road accidents in 2011 that were alcohol related.

Mo Money. Mo Money. Mo Money.
Not just guilty until proven innocent. No probable cause needed either.
Before the attack dogs strike, this is not an endorsement of drunk driving.

Maybe freeloader Ian Leonard can help with inspecting insurance and registration documents. I mean, he is an expert on fraudulent insurance and registration.

I hate to point out the Green Elephant in the room but isn't this a type of profiling a certain ethnic group of people?

They were stopping everyone driving on the sidewalks that night. And that is profiling. Aaaaaaaand profiling is wrong...
