DUI checkpoint in Palmdale this Friday

by The AV Times Staff • May 19, 2016

PALMDALE – The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Traffic Services Detail will be conducting a DUI/driver’s license checkpoint at an undisclosed location in Palmdale this Friday, May 20, between the hours of 6 p.m. and 2 a.m., authorities announced.

Deputies will be looking for signs of alcohol and drug impairment. They also will check for proper licensing and will strive to delay motorists only momentarily. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving.

Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.

There also will be a DUI/driver’s license checkpoint in Lancaster on Friday, May 20, authorities previously announced. Read more here.

Funding for these operations is provided to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

    These DUI checkpoints are a scam based on emotionalism and exaggerated statistics and blurring the lines between common sense and outright fabrications. MOTORISTS.ORG. Common DUI/DWI Myths
