Good Job to all the ECU officers, Pitt County Deputies and SHP who help get these drivers off the road!

Sorry to dissapoint you, but ECU PD isn't allowed to conduct checkpoints anymore. Just like they're not allowed to chase cars anymore. It looks like the SHP are the only "real cops" left in this county.
