[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 752605, member: 12952"] [B]ESCONDIDO: New traffic safety checkpoints begin 16 vehicles impounded, two people arrested during operation[/B] Escondido police impounded more than a dozen vehicles Tuesday, leaving drivers —- including several families with children —- without transportation in a first-of-its-kind checkpoint for the city. Most of the people whose vehicles were impounded appeared to be Latinos; some said they did not have a license because they were in the country illegally. Police set up a downtown roadblock along North Escondido Boulevard near Woodward Avenue to check driver’s licenses, vehicle registration and insurance starting at 10 a.m. It was the first time police have held the so-called traffic safety checkpoints, which replaced the department’s oft-criticized driver’s license checkpoints. The owners will have to pay about $1,500 in towing, storage and administrative fees before they can have their vehicles returned. [B]ESCONDIDO: New traffic safety checkpoints begin[/B] [/QUOTE]
