Our Newport Beach DUI lawyers
 Image via Wikipedia have learned that the city of Costa Mesa has received a state grant for DUI enforcement. The grant activities will specifically target DUI offenders, Motorcycle Safety, drivers with suspended or revoked licenses, red light running, speeding, and seatbelt violations. This will be done through the use of DUI/driver’s license checkpoints, special enforcement operations, and court stings where DUI offenders with suspended or revoked licenses get behind the wheel after leaving court.
“Thanks to the dedicated hard work of agencies like the Costa Mesa Police Department, California has the fewest traffic fatalities since 1944,” said OTS Director Christopher J. Murphy. “While this is good news, we know that only by keeping the pressure on through enforcement and public awareness can we hope to sustain these declines and save lives.”
DUI/Drivers License Checkpoints are a key component of the grant. These highly visible, widely publicized events are meant to deter impaired driving, not to increase arrests, and law enforcement admits they are not effective at getting drunk drivers arrested. If you have any questions for a DUI Specialist Orange County, call me anytime, at (877) 568-2977.

 Image via Wikipedia DUI laws, being more of a political animal than a legal one, are something that California politicians tinker with each and every year, without fail. This year, 2012, two measures signed into law alter DUI penalties in noteworthy ways. Consider this our New Year’s Gift to you from our DUI lawyers Orange County.
AB 353 prohibits law enforcement from impouding a vehicle at a sobriety checkpoint if the driver’s only offense is not having a valid driver’se license. Police must also make a reasonable attempt to identify the registered owner of the vehicle in order to release the vehicle to the registered owner or to a licensed driver authorized by the registered owner.
AB 520 allows a person convicted of alcohol related reckless driving (known as a “wet reckless”) to apply for a restricted license early if he or she complies with specified requirements, including the installation of an ignition interlock device. If you have questions for a DUI lawyer Newport Beach, call me at (949) 682-5316.

Our DUI Lawyers Orange Countyhave learned, through a press release sent to us from the Huntington Beach Police Department, that the PD believes that, even though they have a grant for DUI checkpoints, that they will not increase arrests. As they state, “DUI/Drivers License Checkpoints are a key component of the grant. These highly visible, widely publicized events are meant to deter impaired driving, not to increase arrests.”

Our DUI Lawyers Orange County
 Image by DutchAstrid via Flickr have learned that The Orange County Crime Laboratory (OCCL) has received a $350,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety to purchase new instrumentation for increased identification and quantitation of prescription and abused drugs for cases when driving under the influence of Drugs (DUID) is suspected. This technology will provide more comprehensive toxicological testing of DUID case samples. Obtaining these additional equipment funds was done in cooperation with and through the assistance of the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
In recent studies, 23 percent of all fatally injured drivers tested positive for drug involvement. In another study where drivers voluntarily allowed for testing, more tested positive for marijuana (8.4 percent) than for alcohol (7.6 percent).
