San Juan Capistrano DUI Checkpoint Saturday June 26, 2009

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department will conduct a DUI and driver’s license checkpoint in San Juan Capistrano from 7 pm to 3 am Saturday, June 27.

Although DUI Checkpoints are horribly ineffective in finding drunk drivers, police and MADD love them, because they give the right political appearances and give MADD volunteers something to do.
