The San Diego Police Department announced it will set up a DUI and license checkpoint somewhere in the city limits on Friday night.

Officers will be stopping drivers to check for alcohol and marijuana use as well as proper licensing beginning at 11 p.m. Friday and continuing until 3 a.m. Saturday.

Police regularly announce the checkpoints in advance because of the deterrent affect on drivers. The locations are chosen based on previous DUI accidents and arrests.

Those caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspensions and other expenses that can exceed $10,000.
