Troopers with the Indiana State Police Bremen post will conduct a sobriety checkpoint at an undisclosed location in St. Joseph County on Friday night, Aug.31, as part of Operation Pull Over, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”
Drivers that encounter this checkpoint are asked to have their driver’s licenses and registrations available for troopers.
The purpose of sobriety checkpoints is to remove drivers that are under the influence of drugs or alcohol and pose a risk to others on the roadways. Impaired drivers cause billions of dollars in property damage, personal injury, and death annually.
Police ask that all drivers consider the following tips:
- Use a designated driver
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you have been drinking.
- Call a taxi, ride sharing service, friend, or family member that has not been drinking.
- If you are hosting a party, offer non-alcoholic drinks as an option
- Don’t let friends drive drunk. Offer to get them a ride or spend the night.
- If you see a possibly impaired driver, call 911 and be prepared to give a location, direction of travel, and vehicle description.

This is just another example of how America is not a “free” country at all. This is a violation of the constitution but our government allows it to happen and we just put up with it anyway. Same with Federal taxes of any kind…we just put up with it. Same with life time corrupt politicians…we just put up with it. Same with entitlements for all that don’t care to work…we just put up with it. Same with illegals…we just put up with it. Wake up and take a look because America as you knew it is gone. The little bit that remains will soon be completely gone.The socialist liberal democrats running their coup in DC are trying to make sure of it. Why are the American people so complacent when it comes to being “governed” by idiots. What happened to “We the people”
