Roadblock inconvenience fine if it gets drinking drivers off roads

Dear editor, As a resident of Black Creek, I am no stranger to the police roadblocks.

Dear editor,As a resident of Black Creek, I am no stranger to the police roadblocks.I completely support the police in their vigilant efforts to stop drinking drivers. Over the years I have witnessed, first hand, many obviously inebriated individuals buying alcohol in the morning when the liquor store opens, and then driving away. If helping to get these people off the roads of my community means a few brief moments of inconvenience, then I say — great, no problem. Besides, I have found all of these brief inconveniences to be quite pleasant and an opportunity to meet the men and women who have pledged their lives to protect and serve our communities. To the RCMP who are taking the time to keep my community safe from drunk drivers, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude. Thank you. Keep up the good work, and may God keep you safe as you work to protect me and my family, friends and neighbours, and my community which I care so deeply about.Deborah Robertson,Black Creek
