And for

Here's
the latest general Orange
County DUI Sobriety Checkpoint and Saturation
Patrol
information. Bookmark it and come back often, we update it several
times each week as information becomes available. Please see
the disclaimer below.
7,506 interested Visitors
came
here on 12/31/11, New Years Eve.
More and more of
the PD's are announcing Checkpoints without
locations. Costa Mesa is the latest to do this. Check back to
this site later on, as alert motorists usually
text us with the
exact locations. Text me at 714.390.5190
if you spot any OC Checkpoints, and I'll put them up here for everyone
to
see.
Lots
of Roving Patrols will be out on Super Bowl Sunday, because people
drink for hours then leave the bar/party all at once, and the cops know
this. We'll watch for Checkpoints, but the Saturation Patrols are
everywhere that day. Drive safe out there.... We are watching for
you, check back later.

California
Bills
AB353 and AB1389 changing the DUI Checkpoint laws were in the news last
Fall.
Read the details and law development below. The
new law
AB353 removed much of the $$ incentive for the PD's to do
Checkpoints, and went into effect 1/1/12. We are watching out
there
for
you.
New
Checkpoint Laws -- AB1389
passed the California Assembly 6/3/11.
This Bill
limits DUI Checkpoints to very specific areas, limits what
they
can check for to DUI's only, and mandates 48 hour advance notice.
It's not law yet, and we'll watch the progress for our
readers -
check back here for the latest updates.
Update
- CA Senate
Public Safety Committee passed this Bill on July 5.
Now goes for Appropriations, then to a Senate floor
vote. 7/12
the Senate version
pulled back a little, removing some of the
restrictions against impounding cars at Checkpoints, that part was
split into a separate Bill AB353. 8/15 going for a second reading and floor
vote in the CA Senate. 9/2 Amended in
CA Senate, going for a vote soon 9/8 Passed
Senate, both Bills sent to Jerry Brown for signature. We are
watching this for you !!
Final Update:
AB353
was signed into law 10/8/11. This means that drivers without
valid licenses who are stopped at DUI Checkpoints will no longer
automatically have their cars impounded - the PD's now have to make a
reasonable attempt to find the owner and notifiy them. And if
the
owner can pay the fines etc. they can get the car back without a 30 day
automatic impound. This also means that a major part of the $$
incentive for the cities and the PD's to hold these Checkpoints has been
removed. Click Here for a post-passage
article and some background on the new law's effect.
AB1389 was
vetoed by Jerry Brown. This would have made it mandatory to
give
48 hour notice of Checkpoints, and make it so that Checkpoints would be
setup to look for
Drinking Drivers only. The Police Chiefs in CA convinced Gov.
Brown to veto this Bill.
So it's business as usual, except that the $$ incentive to hold a lot
of these Checkpoints has been removed. We'll see if that cuts
the
frequency back. Click Here for an article a Street Reporter wrote on the subject.

Checkpoint
Background Information
Here's most all the Speed
Traps in the U.S. listed by city www.speedtrap.org
Almost all those Smartphone
Aps that say they track the DUI Checkpoints
are totally worthless. Sometimes they list info that is
texted in
by drivers, but none of them monitor the news sources ahead of time
like we do. Plus we also put up listings right away when
unannounced CP's are discovered by alert motorists out there at night.
Flash:
Blackberry
and now Apple have dropped all DUI location Apps from Cellphone use,
under pressure from the U.S. Congress. Click Here for the June 9, 2011
USA Today article.
People ask why we don't
publish this
earlier for the weekend, and it's because 1) the PD's
sometimes
don't put out info until the last minute and 2) there are some
copycat sites (mostly attorneys, ehhh) who know that we have the most
and best Orange County info, so they copy the listings when we put them
up.
Dirty.....
The PD's are supposed to announce
Checkpoints in advance, but we have
found that sometimes they use small publications, so very few people
know. And sometimes they don't announce them at all, figuring
that drivers caught are not likely to contest the charges.
Be
careful out there...
Some thoughts on why and how DUI Checkpoints exist,
and how they seem to target ethnic groups.

the 3/28/11 article
from the Orange County Register
Here's an article on AB1389, which would dramatically change the way
California Police must conduct Checkpoints. They are doing
DUI
checkpoints now at 10am, noontime, whenever.... just to catch and
impound cars for the $$$. Click

One of the local DUI attorneys tries to charge for alerts you can get
here for free. And Apple and others are being pushed to
prevent
the Apps from working. Censorship?
Click Here for
the 3/28/11 article
from the Orange County Register
In LA the PD has revised it's policy regarding non-DUI related
offenders snared at Checkpoints. Cutting way back on
impounding
cars,,,, it's a start. Click Here for the article from
the 3/13/11 Los Angeles Times
This is guaranteed to make you wonder how these Checkpoints can
continute to operate, in clear violation of the law. Click Here for a News Video from
PBS suggesting that the impounding of cars is illegal and
unconstitutional.
Here's
some fresh info about what to expect
re: OC DUI Checkpoints in 2010-11:
The State of California is set to expand DUI Checkpoints
in 2010 - a 50% increase over 2009. California may have the largest Checkpoint
Program in the country this year, with an extra $8M in
funding.

Here's

Checkpoints Police Profit Centers?? DUI
checkpoints are major money makers for the police, even though they
don’t have either a deterrent effect on DUI's, or result in many DUI

Saturation
Patrols are specially trained two man Police teams
that cruise the city specifically to locate and arrest intoxicated
drivers. Typically there are several teams out at the same time.
Quote from the Newport
Beach PD: "The major value of checkpoints is
their educational and deterrent influence on the motoring public,"
Interesting
article, from the Orange County Register;
DUI
checkpoints of dubious value, legality
http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/opinion/abox/article_1393748.php
Mothers Against Drunk Driving
(MADD) estimates that communities that consistently use sobriety
checkpoints experience as much as 8 times the reduction in DUI
incidence as communities that use roving patrols alone.
