Why would they post a DUI Checkpoint a year ago August 19 2021 Who cares something happen a year ago
But – interesting that they posted it.
It looks like a typo. They meant to write 2022, as in, last Friday. Aug 19 didn’t fall on a Friday in 2021.
I’m guessing they messed up with that 2021 date, since they weren’t doing checkpoints last year because of covid restrictions. Somebody’s typo. It was this year.
