Chicago DUI lawyer comments on the DUI checkpoint everyone is flocking to reach

This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here about DUI checkpoints. She's never heard of law enforcement asking people to avoid a DUI checkpoint until now.

Here's a novel idea that mixes the very good and the very bad of the holiday season.

The Salinas Police Department has added a turkey giveaway to this week's DUI checkpoint.

Officers will give turkeys to some of the drivers who successfully pass through the drunk driving stop Tuesday night.

It wasn't clear how the lucky winners will be chosen, but the turkeys themselves come from donations from local businesses, members of the department and any private citizen who wants to hand over a bird.

This is the seventh year Salinas police have added a giveaway to the Thanksgiving week DUI checkpoint.

It's become so popular, Salinas police are now asking drivers not to go through the checkpoint more than once just to try to win a turkey.

During these economically challenging times I suspect this DUI checkpoint will be flooded with people waiting to pass through it. I look forward to residents taking advantage of this rebate on their hard-earned tax dollars.
