Unknown DUI Checkpoint Scheduled for Saturday

The California Highway Patrol will conduct a sobriety checkpoint over Presidents’ Day Weekend at an undisclosed location.

Over the three-day weekend, the Redwood City CHP will host a sobriety checkpoint Saturday from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. to deter commuters from driving drunk.

“Every year, members of our community are injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers. It is the Department’s goal to use this enforcement tool to assist with the reduction of injury and fatal collisions that are caused by drunk drivers,” the CHP said. “We are asking the public to designate a driver if they happen to allow alcohol to be part of their evening.”

As with all checkpoints, the media will be notified at a later time with the exact location of the checkpoint.

So why do you keep voting for bigger Government? Seems the consumers have solved the problemRead More without "It's" help.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing foodRead More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
