Petaluma police on Saturday night will be conducting two DUI/license checkpoints.
One checkpoint will start at 6 p.m. and at some point during the night it’ll be shut down and moved to a second street in Petaluma until 2 a.m. Sunday.
The checkpoints are the latest in a series that Petaluma police are holding this year. Two checkpoints were held last weekend. Naturally, they’re not saying where Saturday’s checkpoints will be.
Money to operate the checkpoints comes in a grant from the state Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Why doesnt the state give money to enforcement of our immigration laws and instead of checking drivers, check the citizenship of the children and their parents when they register.
We spend just short of 12,000 per child a year teaching illegal children and there are 21 million illegals in this country and that means billions are spent educating Mexican kids who cant work in America!

DUI checkpoints in California are the equivalent of the new Arizona law. Another instance of policy thwarting democracy. So people are checked for ID under the guise of alcohol laws but stats show many are arrested as illegal aliens.

Yeah, why don’t we just round up all the illegals and block the borders and let our children work in the fields with all the sticky and powdery pesticides and insecticides. Then we could use our own money to pay our kids medical bills from the cancers and diseases they will get from working in those conditions. I am tired of using our money to pay the illegals hospital bills when we could just use it on our own children. Such hypocrites. And I would be against having some work visa programs unless you pay them what the job is really worth. So next time you see a field worker at the supermarket move him to the front of the line because he is the hero who is preventing your kids from getting ill.
