License, registration, proof of insurance -- have them at the ready tonight and early Saturday morning if you drive in the Downtown area of New Orleans. A DWI checkpoint will be operating there from about 9 p.m. until 5 a.m.
I've been saying for some time that more traffic checkpoints were going to be Serpas' answer to the recent upswing in violent crime and home invasions around town. You may have thought I was kidding about that. Not so much. The sad truth is, the police don't have much power to do anything other than harass people. They're about to start arguing that they should be allowed to harass more aggressively. Of course it won't solve anyone's problem but it's what they know how to do.
