Orange County DUI Roving Patrols planned for St. Patrick’s Day

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

St. Patrick’s Day is an active time for law enforcement to use roving patrols of trained officers to try to find persons suspected of driving under the influence.  The California Avoid the 28 website (http://www.californiaavoid.org/about_enforceperiods.php), lists St. Patrick’s Day – March 19, 2010, as a specially targeted date for patrols.  Be careful if you are driving at all, even if you’ve had nothing to drink. You could be subject to delays and testing just based on the date.

Police in Newport Beach, California, are getting ready for an all out effort to find and arrest persons suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) this St. Patrick’s Day.  Orange County DUI Checkpoint locations are being announced, and Orange County DUI Courts are getting ready for the increase in cases from St. Patrick’s Day.  Orange County DUI arrests are expected to increase over last yer.

Orange County DUI Roving Patrols planned for St. Patrick’s Day

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Our Orange County DUI Lawyers have learned that the “Avoid the 12” DUI Task Force will be conducting DUI roving patrols in the cities of Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel,  Laguna Hills and Laguna Woods on Friday, February 12, 2010.  These Multi-City DUI teams will target areas that have a high incidence of DUI-related arrests and collisions.

The goal of the program is to spend funding from the federal government and MADD specifically for DUI checkpoints, even though DUI checkpoints are not an effective way to prevent DUIs.

Orange County Sheriff’s Department Deputies are committed to working hand in hand with their contract city partners in providing a safe environment for the motoring public.

Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Orange County DUI Roving Patrols planned for St. Patrick’s Day

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Another one of the Orange County DUI Checkpoint Locations for this holiday season has been revealed, this time in Costa Mesa, and on a Tuesday (not on New Year’s Eve):

The Costa Mesa Police Department will be conducting a sobriety / driver license checkpoint on Tuesday, December 29, 2009, from 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. The checkpoint will be located northbound Santa Ana Avenue, at 18th Street.

This is Costa Mesa Police Department’s second checkpoint associated with California’s 18 Day Holiday DUI Crackdown Campaign. By the end of the campaign, law enforcement agencies will have deployed 300 DUI/Drivers License Checkpoints statewide. Funding for the special enforcement campaign, which concludes January 3, 2010, comes from a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with volunteer assistance provided by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving).

Orange County DUI arrests were headed down again this year, until the State approved this all out 300 checkpoint holiday sweep, to bring stats up, for law enforcement funding. Looks like this might be the only up year in a 10 year decline in all crimes, especially DUI.
