Police plan DUI checkpoint in Marysville amid Easter holiday
( — The Marysville Police Department announced a driving under the influence checkpoint to come ahead of the Easter holiday.
'Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,' said Maysville Police Chief Christian Sachs. 'Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.'
Why does California law enforcement announce DUI checkpoints?
The checkpoint is from 5 p.m. to midnight on Saturday. Police did not specify the location of the checkpoint, but said it is determined based on data showing incidents of impaired-driving-related crashes.
Additionally, MPD said DUIs are not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and marijuana may interfere with driving capabilities. Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines, penalties, and a suspended license.
