Every year around this time you hear it on the news: "Police are stepping up patrols looking for drunk drivers from New Years parties." Could there be a bigger lie told either by the police department to the news or is it the news lying all by themselves? If the public only knew. There will be nothing special about LMPD at that time. Same shortage of cars, no overtime, no special memos. It's the same lame lie each year hoping the public just believes it and just do the right thing and not drive
