San Diego to hold sobriety checkpoints over the weekend

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – There will be checkpoint operations to check for
drunken drivers in San Diego Friday and again Saturday but exact locations
will not be released in advance, police said.

The checkpoints are scheduled from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. both nights,
according to San Diego police.

“DUI checkpoints are an enforcement tool proven effective in reducing
the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol-related crashes, as well as
being a valuable means of heightening awareness of the dangers of impaired
driving,” a police statement said.

Drivers caught driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol face jail
time, license suspension and fees, fines and other expenses that can exceed
$10,000.
