Ouch.
The other night while visiting my mother in Richmond, we were stopped at a checkpoint near I-64 (sobriety checkpoint I think). For one reason or another, the Virginia State Police and the locals are making their presence felt.
Not sure how I feel about checkpoints. Reminds me of the checkpoints in between Israel and the PA territories… of course, when you have a .50 caliber machine gun staring you down in Israel versus some flashing lights back home, you realize quickly what the difference is between a checkpoint and a real checkpoint.
