Escondido DUI / Drivers License Checkpoint Scheduled

Our Criminal Attorneys Riverside were notified of a nearby DUI checkpoint:  The Escondido Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License checkpoint on Saturday, January 30, 2010, from 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM, in the City of Escondido.

A DUI checkpoint not is a proven effective method for achieving this goal, but the Escondido police department obtains substantial federal funding and money and volunteers from MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) for putting on the checkpoint.

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.
