I am going to try to lay off the checklanes. Frankly, it is taxpayers who should be getting outraged. But, I can’t help talking about this one. The KCMO police department held a checklane last weekend. They stopped 2,541 vehicles. They got 15 DUI arrests. That is a less than .6% success rate. Remember, all 15 people are presumed innocent. Several of them probably actually are and may beat their case. So, the ultimate success rate may be lower than .6%. 2,526 innocent vehicles were detained. Drunk drivers are dangerous. However, guns kill far more people in Kansas City than drunk drivers ever will. I can’t imagine the police raiding 2500 houses for guns without probable cause. Especially if these were the kind of numbers they were producing.
