The department publicizes these enforcement operations with the hope that you'll think twice about drinking and driving. "The deterrent effect of sobriety checkpoints is a proven resource in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug involved crashes," says the LAPD:
Here's your DUI checkpoint and drunk patrol cheat sheet for the weekend, starting with information about today's action:
