More brutality please.

They used to do them all the time in missouri. I remember reading somewhere that the government cut way back on them because they didn't help enough to justify the cost and disruption, but don't quote me on it. I think there was also some concern about 4th Amendment issues, but I'm not a legal expert so again don't quote me on it.

I've lived here all my life, and I saw one once on east Sunshine; maybe about 10 years ago. They were only stopping eastbound traffic, and I was headed west.

Watching Over Whiskers - foster based cat rescue

Rescue One - foster-based rescue for both dogs and cats

I have fostered for both of these organizations personally and can recommend either one. I know a lady who fosters for Eden which another poster suggested and I know they are also good. I just haven't worked with them myself.

Absolutely. The best course of action

This is not meant to condone drunk driving, but as was posted before to give you a heads up the 5-0 will be hunting tonight. If you’re drinking, get a ride and don’t drive. If you’re sober, don’t open your trunk without a warrant.

Stay home in your basement. They won't stop you there. ;)

Safe can have a lot of meanings in this context. Safe in your rights for example. Or safely along without disruption of your trip. Or maybe it is just a generic wish for a safe drive?

Know the script and your rights.

You should definitely check out Eden.

Okay. So how does this information help you "drive safe"?

Where is our White Castle burgers?

Some of us like not being stopped and searched without probable cause. We have better things to do in our life than have our rights trampled upon to make the police's life easier. Papers please check points are more authoritarian than I'd like.

Springfield isn't really that wealthy of an area. There is an immense older working class population. South side can get ritzy sure but what makes them think regular people can afford thousands of dollars randomly?

The drunks do Springfield don’t appreciate your sound advice

They do them a few times a year. Usually not near where they should. And they do not catch many drunks. They mostly catch people for other things but use DUI as the excuse to make it legal. They then get to brag about it and puff themselves up as heroes.

This looks like it might be a lost/found animal post because it contains the word cat. Please consider posting lost and found pet to Leigh's Lost and Found. This Facebook group has nearly 60,000 Springfield area members and is administered in partnership with the Animal Control shelter of Springfield, MO.

I appreciate looking out but please, if you're going to load up don't drive.

It was bs. I had to pay 50% which was $1100. I was beyond pissed, I even called my insurance company to see if there was anything they could submit to Cox to prevent. But something even worse is how long you have to payoff the remaining balance. Ferrell Duncan is 12 months. I’m expecting to pay my out of pocket maximum which is $7000, no way I could pay that in 12 months.

Yeah I thought so too, but they've informed me that this is what they assume I'll owe after the insurance. I even have a good standing with them and am a regular patient. They have no real reason to pressure me like this.

They do.

If you're driving safe, why would you need to worry?

Fucking bummer dude. I assume if you just bluntly turn people away you won't get even the massive insurance payment.

Do dui checkpoints exist out here? I haven't seen one since I left the west coast.

I remember reading about this a few years ago but never saw anything else.

I’d assume DUIs
