DUI Court Sting Operation

On February 8 th , 2010 between the hours of 0800 and 1400 hours officers from the Costa Mesa Police Department Office of Traffic Safety conducted an undercover court sting operation at the Harbor Justice

parking area to be sure they were not driving due to suspended or revoked license. In the operation 16 offenders were followed outside by officers. While some offenders had alternate means of transportation,
4 got behind the wheel and drove away from the court house. Those who chose to drive were stopped by waiting officers.

Among the arrest and citations were:

   3 citations for suspended or revoked licenses
   1 citation for being an unlicensed driver
   3 vehicles were impounded

Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.   If  you have questions for our Orange County DUI lawyers, call us at (877) 568-2977.
