DUI Holiday "Crack Down"
Police agencies from across San Diego county are warning that from now until New Year’s, there will be a major “DUI Crackdown.” This means extra police enforcement on the streets, and extra DUI checkpoints.
They aren’t kidding. Eight DUI checkpoints have been announced for this weekend alone. Even if you have not consumed any alcohol, it is still a good idea to avoid DUI checkpoints. There are many legitimate reasons for avoiding a checkpoint, but here are a few: an unnecessary police search is waste of your time, police are looking for more than just sobriety (such as license status, registration and insurance status, and vehicle maintenance issues), a search without reasonable suspicion is a violation of the Constitution, and so on.
The following “drunk driving” checkpoints are scheduled for this weekend, but be careful, there may be more coming down the pipeline:
