Orange County DUI Checkpoints

2010 has been deemed the "year of the checkpoint." The California Highway Patrol and local law enforcement alike have teamed up to make the end of the year the largest sweep on Orange County drunk drivers.  Every weekend of this holiday season taskforce operations and saturation patrols have been geared up to arrest potential drunk drivers or those in possible violation of public intoxication. 

An  Orange County DUI can have very serious implications.  You could face a loss of license, hefty fines and potential jail time.  Not only are these Orange County DUI checkpoints designed to catch potential drunk drivers but also those who are driving without a license or on a suspended license.  While being stopped at a sobriety checkpoint and subsequently arrested for an Orange County drunk driving offense may seem devastating, you do have rights and the first call you should make is to a qualified Orange County DUI Lawyer who understands the legal requirements of checkpoints.
