Threads like this are frustrating. You have half the people responding with logic and half responding with emotion and straw-man. It's certainly no way to hold a debate.

Fact: What this guy is doing (tweeting checkstop locations) is not illegal.
Fact: To make this illegal would contravene our freedom of expression as enshrined in the Charter.

My position? I'm okay with it.

If I'm sober and I see there's a checkstop on my phone, I'll take an alternate route - I dislike traffic snarls, and I've experienced what an ill-placed checkstop can do to traffic flow. I also have better things to do than blowing into a breathalyzer in a bus for ten minutes.

If I'm drunk? I don't have my car with me and I'm likely too busy talking to people to bother checking my phone for any reason, nevermind Twitter.


As far as how many checkstops I've seen, I've been driving for over ten years now, and at all times of the day/night. I can count on one hand how many checkstops I've seen. I don't even need to count how many I've actually been through.
