Southern California DUI Sobriety Checkpoint Schedule for 11/20 & 11/21
This weekend, there are at least four California DUI sobriety and driver’s license checkpoints scheduled to take place.
Typically, cops need a reasonable suspicion or probable cause before they can initiate a traffic stop. In order to get around this strict legal requirement, courts have classified DUI roadblock investigations as “administrative” rather than criminal.
Although our government is generally doing a good job of depriving suspected DUI drivers of their rights, sobriety checkpoints actually have quite a few legal rules that must be followed in order for any of their arrests to be upheld.
Because of this fact, it is critical for you or anyone you know who has been arrested at a DUI checkpoint to consult with a California DUI defense attorney. Unless a checkpoint strictly complies with the legal requirements imposed upon it, any DUI charges will have to be dismissed as unlawful.
The Santa Monica Police Department will conduct its DUI / driver’s license roadblock in the area of Lincoln Boulevard and Michigan Avenue at an undisclosed time Friday evening.
The following are the sobriety checkpoints that will take place this weekend, beginning November 20, 2009.
The Moreno Valley Police Department will operate its California sobriety / driver’s license checkpoint from 6:30pm Friday night until 1:00am Saturday morning at an undisclosed location in the city of Moreno Valley.
The Escondido Police Department will conduct its DUI /driver’s license checkpoint from 6:00pm Saturday night to 1:00am Sunday morning at an undisclosed location in the city of Escondido.
