Why they were manning their road blocks the real criminals were in West Mobile running vans through the doors of business owners lively hoods. How is this different from the Wilmer speed traps that were around years ago? Contract the road blocks out to a private security firm like Securitas. Patrol the areas where crime is rampant.

I hope they come out to the Belle Fountain area. Half the klunkers running around out here don’t have a tag.

Looks to me like there should’ve been 93 other vehicles towed.

Two vehicles were towed?

Why? 71 with no insurance should not be on the road. 22 with no license or expired license that should not be on the road.
