The Costa Mesa Police Department conducted a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on Monday, June 13, 2011, on Baker, between Bristol and Bear streets.
By asking the press, including our Orange County DUI Lawyers, to publicize these educational and enforcement efforts, the Costa Mesa Police Department believes motorists are deterred from drinking and driving.
DUI checkpoints are not nearly as effective as roving patrols, and this DUI checkpoint proves it. Despite almost 1,500 motorists inconvenienced, the only DUI arrest made at the checkpoint involved a 26-year old Costa Mesa resident on DUI probation stemming from a previous DUI arrest less than a year ago, making this his third DUI during his short driving experience.
One driver was arrested for an outstanding DUI warrant and another driver was arrested for possession of a switch blade knife and brass knuckles.
The total stats are:
1467 Vehicles through the checkpoint
858 Vehicles screened
3 Drivers given field sobriety tests
1 DUI suspects arrested
1 DUI warrant served 1 Deadly weapons arrest
30 Driver’s license investigations
27 Citations issued
13 Vehicles towed
