DUI Checkpoints
DUI checkpoints and their constitutionality have been questioned for quite some time. The United States Supreme Court has held that DUI checkpoints are legal but there are some requirements for the checkpoint to be deemed valid. First, notice must provided that a checkpoint is going to occur.
This is usually done through some type of media outlet like a newspaper. The notice must include the location and time the checkpoint is scheduled to occur. In addition, there must be some type of policy in checking vehicles.
There has to be a pattern of some sort. However, not every vehicle can be checked. There will be a DUI checkpoint setup in Lee County this weekend. Please read the article below to get more information.
