This Chicago DUI attorney has posted here, here, and here about no refusal weekends. What if you were found guilty of a DUI? Do you think you shouldn’t be able to consume any alcohol whatsoever?
September 15, Chicago, IL:
Some convicted drunk drivers in Kane County may have trouble making plans for upcoming holidays because they’ll be busy doing something else: getting tested to see if they’re drinking alcohol.
A new Kane County program means some DUI offenders must take breath tests up to eight times during holiday weekends to confirm they are avoiding alcohol as required by their court sentences.
The Holiday Alcohol Testing program unveiled during the Labor Day weekend is designed to discourage DUI offenders from taking a drink at a time when they’re likely to be more vulnerable — during a long holiday weekend.
“It’s a matter of people making a choice about the consequences of taking a drink,” said State’s Attorney John Barsanti, who rolled out the program, the first of its kind in Illinois.
During the Labor Day weekend, 17 DUI offenders banned from drinking while on probation or court supervision were required to report for eight breath tests between Sept. 3 and Sept. 7.
