Sargeant Burdette of the Newport Beach Police Department put out a press release, sent to our Orange County DUI Lawyers, regarding a Newport Beach DUI Checkpoint on Saturday night.
The Traffic Division of the Newport Beach Police Department will be conducting a sobriety/driver’s license checkpoint on Saturday May 22, 2010. The location of the checkpoint will be northbound Newport Blvd. at Finley Ave. The approximate hours of operation will be from 9:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m.
Statistics show that DUI checkpoints are one of the worst ways to find drunk drivers, but they are popular with police. Why? Because they can mean serious money to the police departments that have them. Federal money, MADD contributions, and especially impound fees for unlicensed drivers, add up, while the real drunk drivers, which can be better apprehended using targeted patrols, can easily avoid the checkpoints and continue to drive.
Call me if you need a DUI lawyer, and have a safe Saturday night.
