THIS IS A DIRECT REPOST FROM THE SACRAMENTO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S MEDIA RELEASE<\/h4>\n

On Friday, August 9, 2019, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m., the Sacramento Police Department will be conducting a DUI\/Driver\u2019s License Checkpoint on Meadowview Road at Amherst Street. <\/p>\n

DUI Checkpoints like this one are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests. Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and\/or drug impairment, with officers checking drivers for proper licensing.<\/p>\n

The Sacramento Police Department reminds drivers that \u201cDUI Doesn\u2019t Just Mean Booze.\u201d If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, you might be impaired enough to get a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, and can result in a DUI.<\/p>\n

In 2017, 1,120 people were killed in alcohol-involved collisions on California roads.<\/p>\n

The Sacramento Police Department offers these reminders to ensure you have a safe night of fun that doesn\u2019t involve a DUI:<\/p>\n
