National's Police spokesperson thinks the Government have got the Northland checkpoints completely wrong.
About 300 officers will be stationed on the Northland border with Auckland.
This will include recruits who haven’t finished with training with no powers and iwi with limited training experience.
Mark Mitchell told The Weekend Collective there will be massive gridlock regardless even if you stop every fifth or sixth car.
"It's gonna be a mess, it's irresponsible and it'll fail and fall over within days."
