Our Orange County DUI Lawyers learned today that the Costa Mesa Police Department announced they will be holding a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint on Tuesday June 8, 2010 from 6:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M., on 17 th Street at Raymond Avenue.
“No matter what you drive—a passenger car, pickup, sport utility vehicle or motorcycle—if we catch you driving impaired, we will arrest you. No exceptions. No excuses,” said Sergeant Dave Makiyama. “We will be talking to drivers, making sure they are not impaired, arresting those who are, and getting the word out that impaired driving and driving without a proper license is not acceptable in Costa Mesa.
Financial costs of a crash or an arrest for driving while impaired can be significant. Costs for a DUI can exceed $10,000, plus violators face jail time, the loss of their driver’s license, higher insurance rates, and dozens of other unanticipated expenses.
Funding for this checkpoint comes from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.

Our Orange County DUI Lawyers have been notified of a DUI checkpoint and DUI roving patrols in The OC for May 5th. Cinco de Mayo has become a traditional time for many to celebrate California’s rich cultural history. It is also a night police having roving patrols looking out for persons alleged to have been driving under the influence.
The Avoid the 38 will be deploying Roving DUI patrols into the communities of Brea, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, La Habra, Newport Beach, Placentia, Santa Ana, the UCI Campus and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s south contract cities. In addition, Fullerton is holding a DUI checkpoint, as previously reported.
DUI-related arrests and accidents have dropped in California thanks to the recession.
“Communities everywhere will see special events and night spots celebrating Cinco de Mayo,” said Sgt. Mark Daigle of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Traffic Bureau. “If you do go out and celebrate, make sure you have a non-drinking designated driver to get you home safe.”
Officers will be stopping errant drivers and checking for the signs of intoxication, conducting field sobriety tests, arresting those who are intoxicated and impounding vehicles of those with suspended or no license.
“Drunk driving is simply not worth the risk, said Christopher J. Murphy, Director of the California Office of Traffic Safety. “Violators often face jail time, the loss of their driver’s license, higher insurance rates, attorney fees, time away from work, and dozens of other expenses. So don’t take the chance. Remember, if you are over the limit, you are under arrest.”
Avoid the 38 DUI Task Force funding is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. And, if you have any questions related to Orange County DUI, contact me, Robert Miller, at (714) 568-1560.

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. Our objective is to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs – Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest. The public is encouraged to help keep roadways safe by calling 911 if they see a suspected impaired driver.
Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
