Apparently, there are no published guidelines for such road pickets, neither can there one be, at least in black-and-white. Otherwise, they wont serve the purpose. I would tend to believe that many offences are averted because of such vigil. Of course, they inconvenience us, but isnt that a small price to pay.
Some data on Delhi Police I could gather from the webworld:

* 1,764 dacoity, robberies, and snatching (last year: 1,766)
