DUI defense attorney news
Billboards saying don't drink and drive have been on display throughout Maricopa County for about a month, but there's no proof yet that they are working.
Still, County Attorney Andrew Thomas is hopeful.
``We had a campaign against the use of ecstasy and ecstasy use went down. We were the first to air psa's combatting the scourage of meth and it was shortly after our commercials began to air, that the rate of meth use among young people began to decline," Thomas said.
There is no holiday break for law enforcement officers in battling drunken driving. Since Thanksgiving, the holiday DUI task force has stopped more than 15,000 drivers. More than 1,200 were booked for DUI / DWI / driving drunk, another 400 for extreme DUI. Police have issued more than 5,000 tickets for other violations.
