This always amazes me how many people don't have valid licenses.

Officers cited 234 drivers for having suspended licenses or no licenses at all during checkpoints in Hawthorne.

Police conducted the driver's license checkpoints on Wednesday on Crenshaw Boulevard and Northrop Avenue and on Hawthorne Boulevard at 126th Street, Hawthorne police Lt. Mike Ishii said.

Officers towed the 234 cars, and arrested five people, including two on weapons charges.

Violators without valid licenses will be cited and their cars will be towed.

(Oh, and if you are drunk, they'll get you for that too.)
