LARGE D.U.I CHECKPOINTS ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008More than 200 South Florida law enforcement officers took part in Hands Across the Border, the largest DUI checkpoint and roadblock in Florida’s history. The center point of the aggressive tactic was set up on 441 at County Line Road. Other checkpoints were to be scattered across South Florida during the weekend.
Here is a link to the CBS4 Miami video:
A heavy DUI checkpoint saturation like this may result in more DUI arrests overall, but the amount of arrests versus the amount of drivers stopped and interrogated is minimal. An experienced Miami DUI Lawyer can uncover constitutional defects in the police procedures used at these checkpoints.
We will publish the results of this crackdown in a subsequent post.
