The Massachusetts State Police will operate a sobriety checkpoint somewhere in Middlesex County between Saturday, Nov. 1 and Sunday, Nov. 2. The exact location of the checkpoint was not given by police in an announcement.
According to State Police, the purpose of the checkpoint is "to further educate the motoring public and strengthen the public’s awareness to the need of detecting and removing those motorists who operate under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs from our roadways. It will be operated during varied hours, the selection of vehicles will not be arbitrary, safety will be assured, and any inconveniences to motorists will be minimized with advance notice to reduce fear and anxiety."
