Sounds more like a ticket writing party to me.

It's to get the population used to police state tactics... and it's working. That big, bad drug war, we'll have to declare martial law soon.

No license,no insurance,impaired,no lights,
bad tires, brakes,no seat belts, why do you defend them?
Amazing

Get the lawbreakers off of the roads. It will be that much safer to drive for the rest of us. If you are not breaking any laws, what harm can roadblocks do to you?

Good work by the RCMP.
They should do this more often.
It makes the roads safer.

I meant to insinuate that it was more an exercise of raising revenue for the Olympics, than anything else. Maybe I should have used simpler language.

If it made you feel safer, then that's great too.

But here is a better idea:

To heck with roadblocks, it would be far more efficient to just put everybody in jail and make them earn their way out. If they mess up on the outside, they get demerits, and eventually end up back on the inside. We could all carry a card with a magnetic stripe, and the police could swipe it in a scanner and instantly assess a demerit penalty to us, and arrest us for transport back to jail, if necessary. They would also have instant access to all our previous history, as well as an up-to-date record of how many merits or demerits we currently had and how many were needed to have us end up back in jail. That makes things safer.
