State police planning DUI checkpoints this weekend
State police are planning DUI checkpoints around Butler County the weekend of Nov. 13, according to a news release.
The checkpoints will be conducted on roads determined to be problematic with DUI offenses.
Not every vehicle will be stopped. Officers use a systematic formula to determine which vehicles to check. Drivers will be signaled to stop when selected and must provide their driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance.
Officers will observe drivers and ask a few questions. Anyone suspected of driving under the influence may be asked to step out of their vehicle to perform a standardized field sobriety test or blow into a portable breath test device.
