LOS ANGELES, CA, October 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Halloween is a time of year when law enforcement is out in record numbers to crack down on DUIs.
Apparently, DUIs have been on the rise since 2006, according to AAA's website, but not all DUIs result in fatalities or even injuries. In fact, even though the records show that DUI-related arrests have increased, actual car crashes involving DUIs have decreased 10% over the past three years.
Many citizens believe this decrease has been due to the Highway Patrol's increasing of DUI checkpoints at certain times of the year. According to statistics, there is always a rise in DUI cases around the holidays, with Halloween coming in second only to New Year's Eve.
There is, however, another school of thought that perhaps citizens have finally received the message about drinking and driving. There are more nightclubs and pubs that will take action and call cabs for customers who have had too much to drink. This could be because of bars coming under fire for serving their patrons beyond intoxication-level.
If you are one of the unlucky drivers who is pulled over at a DUI checkpoint, know that you do have rights and do not have to do the drunk driving test the police ask you to. It is your right to say no, but the police do have the right to haul you in if you refuse; it is a subjective call on their part. Also, many drivers are not aware that in California, a first time DUI is often considered a misdemeanor. Most of the time, it takes up to four arrests before any hard time in jail is required.
Your best bet is to avoid the police altogether by designating a driver for the evening or having the Halloween party at your place this year.
