Chicago DUI attorney provides a PSA on DUI roadblocks (hint: the cops will be out this weekend)

This Chicago DUI attorney has posted here, here, and here about roadblocks.

Think of this post as your PSA (Public Service Announcement) that there will be DUI roadblocks this holiday weekend and even where there aren’t per se roadblocks, you should anticipate an increase in law enforcement patrols, both in the city, and on the expressways.

May 27, Chicago, IL

 The Chicago Police Department will conduct a DUI Strike Force Patrol in the Deering (009th) District beginning at 7:00 p.m., Friday, May 28, 2010 and ending at 3:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 29, 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.

 In addition, the Breath Alcohol Testing (BAT) Mobile Unit may also be deployed to allow officers to expedite the process of charging a person with Driving under the Influence (DUI) prior to transporting an alleged into the nearest lockup for bonding. The mobile unit also allows for Individual Recognizance Bonds (I-Bonds) to be issued at the site of the DUI Strike Force Patrol.
