On July 22, 2009, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and the San Diego County Regional Avoid the 14 Task Force conducted a DUI enforcement disaster in the cities of Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas to coincide with the opening day of the Del Mar.

San Diego DUI officers from the San Diego Police Department, La Mesa Police Department, Oceanside Police Department, Coronado Police Department, Escondido Police Department, Chula Vista Police Department, National City Police Department and San Diego County Probation Department all competed in overzealousness.

The San Diego DUI results of the operation are as follows:

Traffic stops: 277 (based on hunch or mere suspicion of San Diego DUI?)

San Diego DUI Field sobriety tests administered: 83
(This means over 2/3rds of folks' freedoms were intruded upon.)

San Diego DUI arrests: 12 (of which two included charges of child endangerment)
(This means less 5% of the hunches led to DUI arrests. Wow.)

This San Diego DUI operation was made possible as a result of a grant by the California Office of Traffic Safety. San Diego DUI strike team operations will be conducted in the near future with the goal of getting drunk drivers in jail to make money off them. San Diego DUI criminal defense attorneys can't believe this.
