Checkpoints often are costly and always intrusive, according to San Diego California DUI criminal defense attorneys. Oceanside's friday night drunk driving checkpoint came up 0 for 487. A wasted effort to screen for suspected drunk drivers produced no arrests on any DUI charge, but lots of government money was spent.

The San Diego county DUI checkpoint was conducted by Oceanside Police Friday from 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. in the 1300 block of North Santa Fe Drive. 487 vehicles did not escape the drunk driving checkpoint. DUI police trying to justify their pay screened 298 vehicles but none of those drivers will need a San Diego DUI criminal defense lawyer.

Hunch & suspicision prompted 8 drivers to be given field sobriety tests but those tested were either less than .08% BAC or had no alcohol in their system. So why bother? Unqualified training in DUI detection?
