Sacramento D.U.I. Checkpoints

Isn't it interesting that the Sacramento Police set-up their latest D.U.I. check-point on Franklin Blvd. about a 1/2 mile south of Curtis Park, where the neighborhood income levels drop significantly, and somewhere along Curtis Park where they can snag some of our more wealthy citizens along with the remaining drunken population. Maybe they should put a check-point on Sutterville Road, that way those folks who are returning home to Land Park or Hollywood Park would have a chance at some jail-time, increased insurance rates and less money in their checkbooks. Did I mention that if you turn off the road before the check-point, even if it happens to be one leading to your street, that they can pull you over for possible averting the check-point? I know our streets need to have less drunk drivers on them, but surely we can be a little more fair and balanced in the placement of these inspections locations.
