Huntington Beach Very Active In DUI / Drunk Cases

---

On Friday, January 14, 2011 and Saturday, January 15, 2011, the Huntington Beach Police Department (California) arrested 11 drivers for DUI / Drunk Driving at a sobriety checkpoint on Beach Boulevard and Speer Street. The checkpoint was conducted on Friday from 9:30 p.m. and ended Saturday about 3 a.m. Of the more than 1,500 vehicles that drove through the checkpoint, more that 500 were screened for DUI / Drunk Driving.

Forty-two sobriety tests apparently were conducted and six vehicles were impounded.

I recently reported that the City of Huntington Beach and the Huntington Beach Police Department was considering posting on the police department’s Facebook page the names of people arrested for DUI / Drunk Driving. The city has now decided not to publish on the Huntington Beach Police Department Facebook page the names of people arrested for DUI / Drunk Driving.
