Kansas City Police Department conducted a sobriety checkpoint on the weekend of 11-20-09 through 11-22-09 to avoid DUI related crashes or DUI arrests in that area (Crime Scene KC).

Out of 157 stops, 4 arrests were made.  It looks like the four people arrested will need to hire a Missouri DUI attorney if they want to fight the harsh penalties that follow.

A first time Missouri DUI offense can leave you paying a fine of up to $500. It can also leave you with a suspended license, no car insurance coverage, and possible jail time. Depending on the sentence, you may need to have an ignition interlock device installed in your car.

If you have been arrested of a Missouri DUI or know someone who has, contact DUI Attorney Christopher Fink.  He is equipped with the skilled and knowledge to challenge your MO DUI, and will fight for the best possible outcome.

It’s nearly Thanksgiving, which means that there will be more traffic on the roads and more police on patrol.  What can you do to avoid being pulled over and arrested for DUI?  The spokesman for the Nevada Highway Patrol suggests some of the main reasons folks get pulled over on Nevada roadways.

• Inability to maintain a travel lane

• Difficulty negotiating curves or turns in the roadway

• Speeding

• Driving without headlights during hours of darkness

• Wrong-way drivers

• Unsafe lane changes

• Throwing a lit cigarette from a vehicle

To avoid being pulled over and arrested for a Nevada DUI, it’s best to drive as safely as possible and obey all traffic laws.  In addition, it’s important to make sure that your vehicle is in good working order.  A broken tail light or expired tags are two reasons that many folks get caught for DUI.

If you are confronted with a Nevada DUI checkpoint, remember to be polite, but do not answer questions such as “where have you been,” “where are you going,” or “have you had anything to drink tonight.”  Also note that, in Nevada, you do not have to perform field sobriety tests.

In the unfortunate circumstance of an arrest in Las Vegas for a Nevada DUI, please do not hesitate to contact Nevada DUI attorney Charles Diaz.  He will be happy to give you a FREE consultation.
