MOBILE, Alabama -- For the second time in as many weeks, police will be checking car safety features at checkpoints throughout Mobile, according to a release from the Mobile Police Department.

Beginning Tuesday evening, March 12, and continuing Thursday, March 14, officers will check seatbelts, child restraints and other safety features. They will also make sure drivers are carrying their car registration, proof of insurance and driver's licenses.

Ashley Rains, public information officer for MPD, said in the release that the checkpoints are meant to enforce and ensure compliance with state and local traffic laws.

During the last week of February, two such checkpoints were held, netting 2 arrests on a total of 5 felony counts, and more than 130 citations issued. A majority of the tickets were issued for driving without proof of license or insurance.

As a matter of procedure, the Mobile Police Department does not release the locations of its checkpoints, only the dates they will occur within city limits.
