1,373+ DUI Arrests In L.A. Over The Weekend (And Counting) Plus Where the DUI Checkpoints are Planned During Crackdown Will Be

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

The Los Angeles Police Department's end of summer DUI crackdown has so far proved to be quite successful. It's also proved that yes, L.A. County (and all of California, apparently) loves to drink. Over the weekend, 568 people were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. And the counter is still clicking. Last year during the same time period, 550 DUI arrests were reported.

As part of the anti-DUI campaign, authorities have planned a series of DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols to police the streets throughout the month of August—including Labor Day weekend.
