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.

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

Santa Ana urged to stop impounding cars Click Here for the OC Register
article.
OC cities really do impound a lot of cars vs. DUI's -- Click Here for the article
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?

the 3/28/11 article

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.

of California announces 2010 as the "Year

Here's
some thought provoking - and provocative - articles about Checkpoints:
Are
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
arrests: Click

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.

In
2006, Costa Mesa Police arrested 1,074 motorists for driving under the
influence, with the intent of the continued campaign of checkpoints to
lower that number, police said.
Here's the results from the Sobriety Checkpoint in Costa Mesa on June
29, 2007

Here's
a Daily Pilot article
about DUI enforcement in Costa Mesa - they have special patrols and
unmarked cars, and they have arrested 276 people in the last 3 months:
http://www.dailypilot.com/articles/2006/08/09/publicsafety/dpt-duiteam07.txt
St. Patrick's Day 2007 DUI checkpoints in Laguna
Beach
and Irvine netted 13 suspected drunk drivers, a very low
number. My favorite quote comes from Laguna Beach Sgt. George
Ramos, in the OC Register: "That's pretty low given the
holiday," Ramos said of the arrests. "Hopefully, that meant more people
had designated drivers." Here's the article http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/homepage/abox/article_1623482.php
Remember
that if you drink, you should avoid driving. If you
are driving with any alcohol in your system, even if you are not above
the legal limit or do not feel impaired, you should avoid any
checkpoint and seek the advice of an attorney that practices in DUI
defense specifically.
Here's
a few
examples of the results of the DUI Checkpoint efforts:
The
Irvine Police Department
conducted a sobriety/driver’s license checkpoint during the
evening hours on Saturday, December 17. The checkpoint
was located on Mac Arthur Blvd. at Douglas in the city of
Irvine. Here are the results of that checkpoint:
Total
vehicles
stopped: 337
DUI arrests: 4
Other arrests: 9
Citations: 17
Vehicles Towed: 10
The
Huntington Beach Police
Department conducted a sobriety checkpoint on Saturday, June 10, 2006
from about 9:30 P.M. to 1:45 A.M.
More
than 1300 vehicles
passed through the checkpoint and about 400 vehicles were selected for
screening. Of the 400 vehicles selected, five drivers were arrested for
driving under the influence, eighteen were issued citations for driving
without a license or for driving on a suspended license, and nineteen
vehicles were impounded. Three people were cited for driving with an
open container. Four others were arrested for possession of stolen
property, possession of burglary tools, possession of marijuana, and
for warrants.
The stats are in for the special checkpoint taskforce for Orange County
for the two weeks before and including New Year's Eve 2005. A
joint task force with the OC Sheriff's, Costa Mesa PD, and the Irvine
PD held four checkpoints, as previously noted.
Out of
500 vehicle stops, there were 25 DUI arrests, 18 arrests for not having
a license or having a suspended license, 4 warrants served, and 3
juveniles arrested for having prescription medications.
