CounterAttack is a police-run roadblock tactic that catches drug and alcohol impaired drivers, and helps reduce injuries and fatalities. CounterAttack campaigns have been run in B.C. for over 35 years, and typically take place during July and December. A major part of CounterAttack is getting the message out that B.C.’s impaired driving laws are tough, impose harsh penalties on impaired drivers and make it likely impaired drivers will be identified and removed from B.C.’s roads.
It’s for show, security theatre. In practice BC driving laws are not tough at all. A few days ago we saw a judge assign a 6 year old kid 20% of the blame for being hit by a car.
It’s contrived, self aggrandizing, pretentious, and delusional.
Trying to scare people into complience only makes people getting better at hiding their intoxicated driving since police can’t do this along every main road in a city, people always find ways to get around restrictions.
For sure, it’s a impaired driving thing:

Thanks. Strange name for a just cause.
