Long Beach DUI Checkpoint locations announced for February 20, 2010

The Long Beach Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on Saturday, February 20, 2010, from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. The checkpoint location will be northbound Atlantic Avenue at Harding Street.  As mentioned by a recent study from the University of California Berkeley, DUI checkpoints are major money for the police, even though they don’t have either a deterrent effect on DUIs or result in many DUI arrests.

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.

Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with volunteers provided by MADD.  For further information contact Sergeant Tom Marcoux in the Traffic Section at  (562) 570-7295.  And, if you are looking for the best Long Beach DUI Lawyers, contact our firm at (877) 568-2977, as we are always happy to help.
