Santa Ana Police Department Advisory:
Police Department conducting DUI/Drivers License checkpoint on Saturday, Dec 15th 2012 7:30- 1:30AM in the area of 2100 N. Main St
SANTA ANA POLICE STEP UP DUI ENFORCEMENT
The Santa Ana Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License checkpoint on Saturday, December 15th, 2012. It will begin at 7:30PM and is scheduled to conclude at 1:30AM. It will be conducted in the area of 2100 N. Main Street, Santa Ana, CA.
The primary purpose of a DUI Checkpoint is to deter impaired driving, not to increase arrests. All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers. This DUI/Drivers License checkpoint is an effort to reduce those tragedies, as well as ensuring drivers have a valid driver’s license. The DMV reports that unlicensed drivers are 4.9 times more likely to cause a fatal crash than a licensed driver.
The checkpoint will be staffed by officers trained in the detection of alcohol and drug impairment to provide on-the-spot assessments of drivers suspected of alcohol or drug impairment. All checkpoints are conducted in accordance with the guidelines for DUI checkpoint operations outlined in the California Supreme Court decision, Ingersoll v. Palmer.
All vehicles may be checked and drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be arrested. Our objective is to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs – Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest. The public is encouraged to help keep roadways safe by calling 911 if they see a suspected impaired driver. Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Drunk Andy,
You are not funny!
Acoholism is a disese. Maybe this guy can’t control himself. While it is never a good idea to drink and drive, I can’t blame a guy on the precipice of losing his job to have a pop.
We have all read bad reporting come out of that rag, what made DRUNK ANDY’s report so bad is that it was blatantly false. Ithink that if you want to riducule his poor writing, his pocked reporting, his choice of friends, But leave his substance abuse and sexuality out of it.
He’s got enough demons.
