New Mexico Rounding Up DUI / DWI / Drunk Driving Drivers

The State of New Mexico is planning on rounding up over 1,000 people who have outstanding warrants in DUI / DWI / Drunk Driving cases.

New Mexico State Police, Santa Fe police and Santa Fe County Sheriff’s departments are starting the round up program called Operation Descansos . People with outstanding warrants are being urged to turn themselves in so they can possibly avoid another arrest and/or additional charges.

The warrants are issued for people who have either been arrested or convicted for DUI / Drunk Driving / DWI and have either not appeared in court or have not completed their sentences. I’m sure there has been a financial cost benefit analysis done by the police agencies which would result in additional revenue being generated.
