    I really doesn’t understand pdrm logic. Is literally a gold mine at the road if you look at the number of offenses they can get from roadblocks! I can easily spot 300++ daily on my way to work. Yet, they don’t want to do more checks. The sargent and inspector levels think they are helping the public to ease burden from bad traffic infrastructure when they themselves are the root cause of their inaction!
