Four Arrested on Suspicion of DUI During Orange County Checkpoint
Over the weekend, Costa Mesa's DUI checkpoint resulted in four drivers being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
According to the OC Register, 22 people performed DUI field sobriety tests, 11 cars were towed, 18 people were cited for multiple driving violation and 17 driver's licenses were investigated. This checkpoint was funded by a grant from the Office of Traffic Safety and out of the 429 vehicles that traveled through the checkpoint, only 1% of them were actually related to DUIs. This raises the question on whether these checkpoints are an effective means of protecting the public or whether taxpayer's money should be spent in a better way.
