DUI checkpoint planned for Palmdale this Friday

by The AV Times Staff • January 9, 2020

PALMDALE – The Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s Traffic Services Detail will conduct a DUI/driver’s license checkpoint at an undisclosed location in Palmdale this Friday, Jan. 10, between the hours of 6 p.m. and 2 a.m., authorities announced.

The checkpoint location will be selected based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests. Deputies will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, with deputies checking drivers for proper licensing.

Motorists caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to be upwards of $13,500. This includes fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension and possible jail time.

Funding for this checkpoint 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.

    60% of drivers in Palmdale are illegal aliens without licenses or insurance. They face almost no consequences because of Xavier Beccera and his crew of fellow anchor babies that rule the Mexifornia legislature in Sacramento.

      You tell it like it is, brother.

      I walked into a restaurant the other day, looked around and yelled “ICE raid” just to have some fun.

    The DUI part is the con. Oh, being drunk will still work just fine. But in California, they only look for a trace. And most salad bars and mouth wash provides that.

    “Motorists caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to be upwards of $13,500.”

    Some people will never learn.
