This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here about DUI roadblocks. Well this is a popular holiday weekend in Chicago as folks gear up for the festivities for Cinco de Mayo. You do know what that means right?
From chicagopolice.org:
DUI STRIKE FORCE PATROL IN THE ALBANY PARK (017TH) DISTRICT AND
THE LINCOLN (20TH) DISTRICT
The Chicago Police Department will conduct a DUI Strike Force Patrol in the Albany Park (017th) District and the Lincoln (020th) beginning at 7:00 p.m., Friday, April 30, 2010 and ending at 3:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 1, 2010.
The purpose of this program is to saturate a pre-designated area with roving police officers that continually monitor vehicular traffic for signs of impaired driving. Patrols also place emphasis on speed, alcohol-related and safety belt violations. Police vehicles equipped for speed detection are deployed to apprehend speeding violators.
That means if you have any of the canned signs of a DUI, you will probably be arrested this weekend. Those signs include bloodshot or glassy eyes; slurred, mumbled, or thick-tongued speech and a strong odor of alcoholic beverage on your breath (don’t forget it could also be the smell of weed).
