ALBUQUERQUE POLICE SAY TECHNOLOGY IS WORKING AGAINST THEM. APD SAYS SOME DRIVERS ... INCLUDING THOSE WHO KNOW THEY'LL DRIVE DRUNK ... NOW USE SMARTPHONES TO SIDESTEP SOBRIETY CHECKPOINTS. APD OFFICER ROBERT GIBBS SAYS DRIVERS ARE USING SMARTPHONE APPS, TEXTING, AND SOCIAL MEDIA TO PROVIDE AND GET INFORMATION ON WHERE POLICE CHECKPOINTS HAVE BEEN SET UP.

 

GIBBS BLAMES THE TECHNOLOGY FOR RESULTING IN FEWER PEOPLE BEING ARRESTED AT APD CHECKPOINTS ON NEW YEAR'S EVE. HE SAYS IT'S FRUSTRATING FOR OFFICERS ... BUT IT'S ALSO JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE DRUNK DRIVERS ARE CAUGHT.
