74% of those suspected of a San Diego DUI in Imperial Beach were really not under the influence or drunk at last weekend's checkpoint

Only 6 out of 23 people who were given San Diego DUI field sobriety tests were actually arrested for San Diego drunk driving. That means about 26% of the persons who San Diego DUI police thought were impaired or DUI were; that also means about 74% of those who the San Diego drunk driving "authorities" thought were impaired or DUI were NOT.

San Diego County DUI deputies from the Imperial Beach Sheriff’s station conducted a San Diego California DUI driving under the influence/driver’s license checkpoint on June 12, 2009 from 7:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. in the 900 block of Palm Avenue, in the City of Imperial Beach.

These checkpoints must follow the California Supreme Court requirements, even in San Diego.

San Diego Drunk Driving Checkpoint Activity:

Vehicles Contacted: 990

Vehicles Through Without Contact: 21

Total Vehicles Through: 1011

Vehicles Sent Into Secondary: 44

Field Sobriety Tests Given: 23

San Diego DUI / Drunk Driving Arrest Total: only 6

Do San Diego DUI police jump to conclusions or make erroneous opinions about a person's sobriety or level of impairment? You bet. Just look at these numbers. Of 44 people the cops initially thought were maybe DUI, only 23 were given actual tests and only 6 were arrested.
