150829 There seems to be an increase in police checkpoints

Thursday two checkpoints. First time I was asked if I had my drivers license. As I reached for my wallet I was told to go.
Second time, as I raised my helmet visor, I was told to go.
Friday evening again as soon as I raised my isor I was told to go.

Seems like there are a lot more road checks these days compared to years ago. Then again it could be because it's at the end of the month and last chance to raise funds for the month.




In twelve years I've probably only been stopped a dozen times, five times this year.  My drivers license was checked twice. More often I am asked "where you come from, or where are you going."

The funniest roadstop I witnessed. A guy with girlfriend as passenger on a motorcycle slowed down as if to stop. When he reached the cop he sped away. A dozen cops standing around just laughed.

Then there was the time when a lone cop on the highway flagged people to stop.  No one stopped
