San Diego travellers going north this weekend beware as the Summer’s First Holiday Weekend Mobilization as The Sheriff’s Department Plans California Drunk Driving Checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department and their contract city partners will be combining resources and sending out a unified message this Memorial Day weekend to holiday travelers, college graduates and communities enjoying local festivities that drunk driving won’t be tolerated. If you drive drunk, we will be looking for you. If you’re over the limit, you will be arrested.

The California Drunk Driving & DUI Task Force will be staffing a California Drunk Driving checkpoint in Lake Forest this weekend and deploying additional local DUI Saturation Patrols county-wide targeting those who still don’t heed the message to designate a sober driver before the celebrations begin.

The checkpoints are subject to strict guidelines and requirements in order to be legal. If illegal, the DUI evidence collected must be thrown out. If you need a San Diego DUI attorney, immediate help is available.

The enforcement campaign begins Friday night with a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint in the City of Lake Forest. Local DUI Saturation Patrols will be out on Saturday night and Sunday night in the Cities of Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano & San Clemente.

California Drunk Driving & DUI crackdowns are planned for the Independence Day weekend and during the National Summer DUI Mobilization effort Mid-August through Labor Day weekend.
