California DUI Checkpoints February 25th-27th 2011
Here are the latest published California DUI checkpoints for the weekend of February 25th – 27th. Important to note is the fact the officers conducting California DUI checkpoints are not only looking for intoxicated drivers but for unlicensed drivers as well.
Friday, February 25th
The Chino Hills Police Department is operating a DUI checkpoint at an undisclosed location in the city of Chino Hills between the hours of 8:00pm and 2:00am.
The Santa Barbara Police Department will be conducting a drunk driving / license checkpoint at an undisclosed location within the city of Santa Barbara from 6:00pm until 2:00am. They will run another one on Sunday night within the same hours.
Saturday, February 26th
In a multi-agency effort, the U.S. Park Police will join with the San Francisco Police to conduct a sobriety / driver’s license checkpoint from 8:30pm until 1:00am at the intersection of Geary Blvd. and 9th Ave. in the city of San Francisco.
The Concord Police will be operating a DUI / license checkpoint at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 7:30pm and 3:30am.
The Oxnard Police Department will be setting up sobriety and license checkpoints at undisclosed locations throughout the city from 6:00pm until 2:00am.
*Despite the fact that most of these checkpoints are being held at undisclosed locations, you can typically call the local law enforcement agency a couple of hours before the start time to find out more exact details about the checkpoint’s location.
And don’t be fooled into thinking that just because you are arrested at a California DUI checkpoint means that you are automatically guilty. Checkpoint arrests…like any other DUI arrests…are definitely defensible. It just takes a skilled California drunk driving defense attorney who can pinpoint the problems with the case and present them to the prosecutor/judge/jury in a persuasive manner.
