It was Saturday morning.. people were just heading toward their destinations, not coming home at midnight slap ass drunk...So it was Labor Day weekend and we were traveling on Interstate… there were 7 fucking state troopers issuing speeding tickets on the side of the road on Saturday morning! I wonder if they were looking for thieves escaping, drunk drivers or just harassing people while generating revenues...So he told you some bullshit and instead of thinking about the revenue generation which is proven, he spins a yarn about the baddies being caught?
Easy. Drunks. Potential ones. LONG standing anti DUI technique on high fatality weekends (Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc) is to flood the highway with cops on mornings...so all the potential night time drunks see all the cops. Get the word out "Oh shit...the pigs are all out this week". And later that day at 5pm when they start chugging booze....they remember all those cops they saw earlier. And they dont drive.
See how that works? Deterrence through presence.
