YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - To help track down suspects in Wednesday morning's shooting, alongside other recent violence in Youngstown, officials announced the idea of having checkpoints throughout the city.

However, this is a concern. Attorney Dave Betras explains unannounced checkpoints are illegal, as they violates the 4th Amendment of the Constitution, which is why OVI checkpoints are always announced.

"You can't just randomly pull cars over without any notice, without any reasonable articulated suspicion, or without probable cause. It's just unconstitutional," Betras said.

Youngstown Law Director Jeff Limbian says the criminal checkpoints won't be like OVI checkpoints, but the city is putting criminals on notice. 

"I would call it more of a dragnet or saturation patrol, but a very strategic one, because the players involved in today's shooting, last night's shooting and the shootings over the last several weeks are known to police and law enforcement in general," Limbian said.

He adds that it will be similar to when the FBI used to closely surveil the mob and their family members to make their presence known, so when laws are violated, law enforcement will be there to catch them.

"They can anticipate we will be tailing anyone we suspect to be involved in the killing of this 10 year old girl," Limbian said.
