Fireworks on list of excuses for illegal suspicionless checkpoints


A mile-long backup on Highway 18
between Waterman Canyon Road
and the 4,000-foot elevation
marker Friday wasn't caused by
an accident on the winding road.
It was a fireworks checkpoint.

The San Bernardino County
Sheriff's Department and Fire
Department organized the
checkpoint with county Board
of Supervisors Chairman Paul
Biane to help keep fireworks
out of the mountains.

"Our message is simple:
Just don't bring them up here,"
said county Fire Chief Pat Dennen.
