There are three Orange County DUI checkpoints this weekend in Huntington Beach, Orange and San Clemente.
On Friday, June 17, the Orange County Sheriffs' will be performing a DUI checkpoint at an undisclosed location in San Clemente between 6:30 p.m. until 2:30 a.m.
Also on Friday Orange Police will be conducting a DUI checkpoint in the area of 700 N. Tustin between Katella and Walnut between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m.
On Saturday Huntington Beach Police will conduct a DUI checkpoint in the area of Beach Bl and Main St. between 9 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.
Fullerton DUI attorney Michael L. Guisti explains that if you see a DUI checkpoint you're legally allowed to turn away from it, just as long as you're not breaking any traffic laws and you don't appear to be DUI.
Also, Fullerton criminal lawyer Guisti notes, if you pull up to a DUI checkpoint and police ask to see your driver's license, but you're driving on a suspended license or without a license the police can impound your car.
Attorney Guisti also advises if you do have a designated driver be mindful of other potential alcohol problems while out having a good time this weekend, such as being drunk in public, buying alcohol for minors and other problems that occur sometimes while drinking at bars and clubs, however unintentional, like assault, battery and even making criminal threats.
Should you or your friends have any legal problems this weekend call the Law Offices of Michael L. Guisti at 714-530-9690 and we'll do all we possibly can to keep you out of jail.
