Show Roadblocks scheduled BOUNTIFUL Beginning in March, the Bountiful Police Department Depart-ment will conduct roadblocks to check for expired vehicle registration or equipment defects, Chief Larry D. Higgins said. Drivers will also be checked for violations such as expired driver's license and alcohol-related offenses. Higgins said the roadblocks will be operated by uniformed police officers offi-cers in clearly marked areas. Vehicles will be directed into well lighted check points in a systematic manner, without discrimination as to appearance ap-pearance of the vehicle or its occupants. If check points are filled with vehicles, other approaching traffic will be waved on without having to stop. Officers finding violations of law at the check points will take appropriate ap-propriate enforcement action. If no violations are observed, there should be no more than a three to four minute delay for the motoring public. |
