Long Beach DUI Checkpoint November 14, 2009

(As a firm of Orange County DUI lawyers, who also take Los Angeles DUI cases, we often get notification of other DUI checkpoints in surrounding areas – which is why we present the following, as sent to our firm, for your information, without commentary. Caveat Propaganda — ).

On Saturday, November 14, 2009, the Long Beach Police Department is conducting a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. The checkpoint will be located at Ocean Boulevard and Chestnut Place. In an effort to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes, DUI checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving.

A major component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers. A DUI Checkpoint is a proven effective method for achieving this goal. By publicizing these enforcement and educational efforts, the Long Beach Police Department believes motorists can be deterred from drinking and driving.

Traffic volume and weather permitting, all vehicles may be checked and drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be arrested. Our objective is to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs – Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest. The public is encouraged to help keep roadways safe by calling 911 if they see a suspected impaired driver.

Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
