The San Diego Police Department‘s traffic division announced plans for a DUI and license checkpoint somewhere within the city limits on Saturday night.
Officers will be stopping drivers from 11 p.m. Saturday until 3 a.m. Sunday to check for alcohol or marijuana impairment as well as proper licensing.
The department said the checkpoint location will be chosen based on previous DUI crashes and arrests.
Checkpoints like this are routinely announced in advance, with police citing “the deterrent effect of high visibility enforcement using both DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols.”
People 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.
