Highway patrol in Puna?
#24
Not likely to be end of month quotas. Quotas are pretty much a thing of the past in most forms. It could very well be a State or Fed funded project or task force taking place within a specific time period.

Such task force projects or "wolf packs" are probably more effective for their PR and preventative purposes that actual DUI arrests, although some arrests are usually made.

Yes, having such a task force centrally located would make them readily available for other calls especially emergency calls, if the command structure permits that.

If the officers involved are perceptive and not one track mind type people any occasions for citizen contacts at odd hours (actually any hours) presents golden opportunities to detect the ne'er-do-wells in action or traveling to or from their misdeeds. Even the shltbums travel the highways. Probably more burglars, thieves and warrant arrests are made from such contacts (traffic stops, etc.) by observant officers than any other method. Stop a car at a DUI roadblock at 3am and see a generator in the back seat....time to ask some questions. See a prybar on the floorboard...time to ask questions. You get the idea.

While I don't want "police harassment" any more than anyone else, I do want curious cops and if I'm doing something that looks strange at that particular time or place I'll not take offense at their interest.
