heads up LA: Cops are starting to pull people over as spot checks to see where you're going/coming from. If it's considered nonessential, they will give you a $400 ticket. Just happened to a friend of my coworker's coming back from her boyfriend's place.

reports of 2 checkpoints, both in mid-city. trying to get intersection info

MY COWORKER'S GIRLFRIEND'S FAMILY HAS GOTTEN 3 TICKETS ALREADY

also one in santa monica

apparently the girl was dropping off supplies on her sick boyfriend's porch, got stopped on the way home and said "im headed home from dropping stuff off at my bf's" and got a ticket.

kinda scary if youre taking care of any relatives/friends who dont live with you
