Police struggle as Twitter users reveal impaired driving checkstops

Police struggle as Twitter users reveal impaired driving checkstops

It’s the key principle of a police checkstop: the locations are kept under wraps, so drunk drivers can’t easily avoid them. But in a social-media era, that’s not always the case. Police officers across Canada continue to grapple with Twitter users revealing the location of impaired driving checkstops, which ramp up during the holiday season. An Edmonton bar was under fire for revealing one such location, and last week, Alberta’s Minister of Justice and Solicitor-General Jonathan Denis took to Twitter himself to berate the user behind an account dedicated entirely to revealing locations of Calgary checkstops.

twitter's birthday

Twitter’s birthday: Six tweet years already?
Alyshah Hasham Staff Reporter
Twitter is now six years away from that first 140 characters-or-less tweet from co-founder Jack Dorsey: “Just setting up my twttr.” Back then the company had just 5 employees exactly six years ago yesterday. Now there are more than 800 and they aim to have 1,000 by the end of the year. It took three years, two months and one day to reach a billion tweets on the site. In 2011, 60 billion tweets were sent out.
They have more than 100 million users right now (though Facebook has more than 800 million).
