Massachusetts State Police announces fourth planned Sobriety Checkpoint of the year
A fourth Sobriety Checkpoint for 2023 has been announced for the area by Massachusetts State Police.
Colonel Christopher S. Mason, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, announced that a “Sobriety Checkpoint” will be implemented by the Massachusetts State Police on a Public Way in Bristol County.
According to Colonel Mason, the purpose of the checkpoints is to further educate the motoring public and strengthen the public’s awareness to the need of detecting and removing those motorists who operate under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs from our roadways. It will be operated during varied hours, the selection of vehicles will not be arbitrary, safety will be assured, and any inconveniences to motorists will be minimized with advance notice to reduce fear and anxiety.
The checkpoint will take place starting Thursday, February 2, 2023, into Friday, February 3, 2023, due to a grant by the Highway Safety Division of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security.

Bull. These are unconstitutional stops which violate the Fourth Amendment. Education has nothing to do with it.
