Long Beach Police Department Conducts Sobriety Checkpoints

Long Beach Police Department’s Traffic Division conducted a sobriety checkpoint June 8 at 7th St and Federation Drive.

Over 2,000 vehicles were checked at the intersection. This was the seventh checkpoint conducted since the Long Beach Police Department received a grant to place officers at the checkpoints.

LBPD was able to check 525 of the 2,480 cars that passed through the intersection. In total the checkpoints have revealed 23 DUI arrests, 35 tickets for unlicensed driving, 36 tickets for driving with a suspended license and 24 towed cars.

There is a debate as to whether checkpoints are more cost effective than putting more officers on the streets.drunk driving

There are apps that can be put on the Smart Phone that will show drivers where the checkpoints are. There are games which mimic a field sobriety test also.

Driving under the influence causes a death once every 33 minutes.

Nationally, over 6,600 drivers are impaired and find themselves in accidents causing over 10,000 deaths.

Twenty one percent of drivers in fatal accidents have alcohol in their blood.

On the way back from a trip I was stopped for traffic and someone rearended me. I got an injurys to my knee, back, and also my neck. I came to AA Accident Attorneys about 3 days after the accident. I was very happy with how they handled everything and the settlement was the maximum amount that the insurance company would allow. I am very happy with AA Accident Attorneys.

Charles C. Car Accident Victim

I’d never been in a car accident in my whole life.I had originally hired an attorney, and he had dropped my case. So I came to the Accident Attorneys and they took on my case. They were amazing. They did a really good job. And I didn’t have to handle anything. In the end I’m very satisfied with my settlement.

David Bell Pedestrian Accident Victim

We found Accident Attorneys, and finding them was probably the best thing that happened to us right then, because we were very well taken care of. They came out to us. We didn’t have to go to them. We was very well compensated financially. If I had to recommend an attorney, I would recommend them.
