It's extra cold this Thanksgiving.

I didn't see any announcement of the location of these checkpoints before they went up. The Harrison Twp. checkpoint caught one OVI driver.

"HARRISON TWP., Montgomery County —

An OVI checkpoint on North Main Street yielded more than 35 citations and two arrests as local authorities hone in on keeping area roads clear of impaired drivers this Thanksgiving.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, Ohio Highway Patrol, and the Montgomery County Combined Agency OVI Task Force conducted the checkpoint in the 7000 block of North Main between 7 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
Seventeen drivers were cited for driving under suspension or no driver's license, the sheriff's office said. An OVI arrest was made in addition to a misdemeanor warrant arrest. Authorities issued three citations for child restraint violations, three seatbelt violation citations, four speed citations and ten citations for other offenses.
The sheriff's office, local police departments and highway patrol plan on having additional deputies, troopers and officers patrolling the streets throughout Thanksgiving."

Think of the cost and hassle to people for no benefit.
