On Sunday, July 3, from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., the Rayne Police Department will be conducting a DWI checkpoint somewhere within the city limits of Rayne.

Officers will be specifically targeting drunk drivers.

A Louisiana Highway Safety Commission grant is funding the sobriety checkpoint.

The Rayne Police Department would like to remind citizens that law enforcement officers throughout Louisiana will be out in force to make sure that drunk drivers don’t cause tragedy on the roads these holidays. Remember, sobriety checkpoints are everywhere and if You Drink, You Drive, You Lose!

In addition to the checkpoint, Rayne police officers will be working overtime hours throughout the weekend enforcing DWI and other driving related laws.

Anyone ever notice that police seem to do D.W.I. Enforcement during holiday season and with grants. Does this mean that they are not worried any other time? I know that sounds stupid to some, because you will say; there are more drunks during the holiday season. I disagree; there are plenty of drunks and drug dealers all year round. However, police like to make a spectacle and get publicity for something they are supposed to do.

It seems as though there is an unwritten rule, solve no crime unless on overtime. Take into account the regular hours worked by officers and the amount of arrest made during those hours in comparison to the hours worked and arrest made while on overtime.
