Massive Escondido DUI Patrol Nets Eleven Arrests
According to a North County Times article, a diverse assortment of patrol officers from the Escondido’s sheriff’s department, the San Diego Police Force, and the University of California San Diego Police Department combined resources in a massive DUI probe over the weekend that resulted in the handing out of 36 traffic citations and 11 arrests.
The California Office for Traffic Safety sponsored the operation, which ran from 7:00 pm Friday evening through 2:00 a.m. Saturday. Seven out of the eleven arrests were for driving under the influence. Police sent 22 drivers through the gauntlet of field sobriety tests. Officers also impounded 21 cars and trucks due to the fact that the drivers did not have licenses or had been driving with suspended licenses.
Spokespeople for the three agencies deemed the San Diego DUI patrol a success, and future operations are in the planning stages. The consequences for being convicted of an Escondido DUI can haunt offenders for months or even years. Convicted San Diego DUI offenders must attend traffic school, face drivers license suspension and strict terms of probation, and pay court costs and fines that can range from $1,000 to much more.
Whether the police arrested you at a checkpoint or a roadside sobriety test, veteran San Diego DUI lawyer Stephen R. Brodsky can build a stiff case for your defense. In almost every drunk-driving arrest, questions abound. For instance, did the officers respect your Fourth Amendment rights? Were you advised of the rights to remain silent and to speak with an attorney? Did evidence seized from your car or person go through the correct chain of custody? Did police properly administer and correctly interpret the BAC tests (e.g. breathalyzers and blood analyses)? Did any officer who processed your case in any way mishandle your paperwork or exaggerate charges?
