From Bill Enfield and Anthony Sorci:
Here are answers to some questions posed by Sacto911 readers. If you have a question, please post it to the Comment section of this story.
Comment about announcement of a DUI checkpoint: Hi Bill. Why does the Bee warn people about these again? - JoeSacramentoDotCom.
Answer: Law enforcement agencies ask us and other media to publicize DUI checkpoints. Several officers told me the main reason is to discourage people from drinking and driving.
Comment about a crash story that gave make and year of vehicles involved: Why the detailed descriptions of the vehicles? Isn't "motorcycle" and "pickup truck" good enough? - okdcodyjr.
Answer: Reporters and editors have debated the value of giving make and year of vehicles in the crash on and off for the 24 years we've been at The Bee. The consensus is we should always err on the side of giving as much information as possible unless there is a good reason not to do it.
Comment on story about Sacramento sheriff's narcotics unit: Hey Bee, why don't you get your links to the photo gallery right! - thebronze
Answer: It was correct when we posted the story but the gremlins got to it, we guess. Here's a link to the (I hope) photo gallery:

Comment about announcement of arrests in a slaying at a light-rail station: Wonder if those ladies whose pics were posted the other day were ever located? Hope they were able to help and were not involved in any way with this young man's death. - warmjet
Answer: Here's what Sgt. Tim Curran, Sacramento County Sheriff's Department spokesman wrote in a note after announcing the arrests: Detectives asked me to pass along their thanks to all members of the media for your assistance in helping them identify the three female witnesses caught on light-rail surveillance video shortly after the shooting. All three witnesses were identified and interviewed by the detectives. The identification of these witnesses was instrumental in the rapid progression of the case.
