On the way home from Coventry Lake tonight my wife and I ran into a multi town DUI check point on RT44 in front of Highland Park Market. Cruisers from Enfield, Windsor,Manchester and Coventry. Looked like they were there for the night.
I would totally pay $$ to see the look on the face of the approaching officer in this scenario:
Officer: "Sir, have you had anything to drink tonight?"
Tall 1: (in his loudest and deepest voice) "FI FI FO FUM! I just drank a bottle of RUM!"
I left Kapt's one night (had 2 beers) and drove home through South Windsor, and into Ellington. They both had checkpoints that night, and I got to perform twice! They could have at least radioed SW and verified my claim to save us both time. Oh well..

I've been thru a dozen of them on the way home from work ,since last yr. Sometimes they( the police) just look at the scrubs and don't even bother asking any questions. Good for me! I can load up for fishing for early morning!!
A friend went through it on the way home from work. Said a bunch of cars on the side of the road. Hopefully someday people will learn. I learned to let my wife drive home or just stay home

Bridgeport Police were busy on parts of upper Main Street yesterday evening and last night. Saw a few people get pulled over while I was out. There's been lots of partying going on around the area recently and have heard reports of fights at bars and nightclubs between customers and customers and owners.

Last weekend I passed one getting set up on my way to the Legion Hall in East Haddam. Everybody there knew they were out and knew where not to go when they left. My son got totally loaded and I had to make sure he wasn't driving before I left. It was my kids stag party. I got stopped when I left but I wasn't drinking....too much.
