A DUI checkpoint on Dover Drive and 16th Street in Newport Beach netted six arrests on suspicion of driving under the influence, police said Friday.
The Thursday night DUI checkpoint stopped 308 drivers, with police administering field sobriety exams to 11. Of those, six were arrested on suspicion of DUI. Police also issued 11 tickets and impounded seven vehicles, said Sgt. Evan Sailor.
The checkpoint was funded by the state Office of Traffic Safety. I’ve pointed out before how DUI checkpoints don’t really work, how they are political, and how they don’t make the roads safer (but they DO cost thousands and tie up traffic), but for funding reasons, they remain more popular.
