Safety Check on I-294 This Friday and Saturday
Checkpoint will be set up in southbound lanes near O'Hare Airport.

Heading into St. Patrick's Day weekend, the State Police will conduct a roadside safety check on the southbound Tri-State Tollway near the Irving Park Road exit and O'Hare International Airport on Friday and Saturday, the Illinois Toll Highway Authority announced Monday.

The I-294 safety check will take place between 11 p.m. Friday, March 14, and 4 a.m. Saturday, March 15, said Capt. Patrick Kimes.

"The ISP has zero tolerance for impaired driving in Illinois," reads the tollway authority's statement. "Officers working this detail will be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license, transporting open alcoholic beverages, or driving under the influence (DUI)."

I would be fine with it if they didn't lie. "Gestopo Checkpoint". just say it like it is.

hard to believe theyre doing this on a major roadway though? I didnt think these were even legal on interstates? wouldnt this literally make it a federal checkpoint? is this not the first time? holy shit man... i guess at least they are announcing it well ahead of time... anyone that goes through it is just dumb anyway.

Probably have troopers manning (OMAHA!) the manual booths to get a look-see/smell before pulling them over near the exit. I remember seeing something similar like 15 years ago.

Damn cops always picking on white suburbia. Picking on people just enjoying a St. Patrick's Day at Toby Keith's or Hofbrauhaus. I'm worried for Wayne Stylie.

WaynieStylie seems like he is probably principled on some things. I bet he doesn't drink and drive.

So if you drive drunk this weekend, stay off the tollway.

You got that right, bra. My bro, Trev Anderson, and me learned sophomore year to cab it. Straight buzzed after a trippin' night at the Squall Box, Trev thinks he's good to go after fourteen O-Bombs. So we hop in his 2003 Jeep Wrangler soft top and make our way back to the frat house. Course, we had to hit up Taco Bell for some delish munchies. Who do we see at the Bell? Trisha and Becky. Ended up Eiffel Towering both of 'em in the bushes, right behind the dumpters. Cops roll up as Trev is about to nut. We bolt to the Wrangler. Two blocks later, and Trev is nailed with a dooo-eee. Luckily Trev's dad is an attorney and all that, so he ended up getting Trev off with court supervision. Still, my bros, it ain't worth driving. No matter how many Jager bombs you've had.

Total BS that but no government official will call out because they'd be "in favor of drinking and driving".

P.S. I wish the Rosemont traffic cops were running it in their full riot gear they always wear.

An aspiring rapper ended up killing 2 people and injuring a couple dozen more evading a DUI-checkpoint in Austin during SXSW:

That's a stretch.

They may have started pursuing him because he tried to evade the checkpoint, but in reality he was fleeing from police when he plowed into the crowd. People flee police at high rates of speed for all sorts of illegal reasons. The checkpoint didn't cause people to die.

That's different than saying he took a left turn to go around the checkpoint and then hit people.

Someone must have sent the bat signal up for all cops (at least Worth and CR) in the area. I went to CVS, about a mile from my place, and saw four different people pulled over on 111th St.

when you evade a checkpoint, you expect to be chased. he could have just raced off knowing they would try coming after him, even if they didnt because they knew it would be dangerous.

My point is - you can't blame the cops for this idiot plowing through a crowd of people.

no but you can blame the safety checkpoint for creating an unnecessary risk.

it seems like the governments are desperately grasping for power before the inevitable happens, when cars drive themselves and there is literally no reason for cops to patrol. they will be turned into fireman and emts- only come when youre called otherwise STAY THE FUCK AT THE STATION.
