So, its the first of the month and people got their welfare check (or EBT these days), and need to drive into town to buy food. Amazingly, a police checkpoint appears and pulls every driver (well, not semis or high priced vehicles or well those without reservation plates) over. Of course the cars aren't well maintained (poor rural - got a grant based on those stats) so tickets fly. But I'm sure everyone feels safer now.

I am having one heck of a time finding the articles.

Ah so it's not to catch them while they have money, it's to catch them when they know the poor people with poorly maintained cars will be heading to town. That's quite shameful.
