Last night the Modesto Police Department held a DUI Checkpoint on Scenic Ave. west of Coffee Rd. At around midnight a man came thru the checkpoint who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. When Modesto Police asked the man to pull to the side of the road to conduct a field sobriety test he fled from the DUI checkpoint in his vehicle. Police pursued the suspect who at one point during the chase attempted to ram a Modesto Police Officer’s car. The chase ended up on Lucern Ave. and as the suspect attempted to turn south onto El Cajon Ave. he lost control of his vehicle crashing into a parked car parked near the corner. Police blocked the man in and had to break the passenger side window of the car to pull the man out who was still resisting arrest. No one was injured in the chase and crash however, one Modestan had damage to their vehicle. The man was booked on charges related to the chase, assault with a deadly weapon, and DUI Modesto News .org was the only news agency at the scene to bring you this exclusive footage of the aftermath and an interview with Sgt. Mitch Paine of the Modesto Police Department.

www.shouselaw.com 888.327.4652 Arrested at a DUI checkpoint? A California defense lawyer explains how to fight the case. California DUI checkpoints (also commonly referred to as sobriety checkpoints, drunk driving sobriety checkpoints and DUI roadblocks) are becoming more popular as the state cracks down on DUI offenders. Even though California law allows police to operate sobriety checkpoints, they must still follow certain rules and guidelines. If they don’t, people can be wrongfully arrested for Vehicle Code 23152a VC driving under the influence. This is one of the reasons why it is critical to consult with an experienced California DUI defense attorney if you are arrested for a DUI at a sobriety checkpoint. If the cops didn’t follow the correct procedures, it may be possible to get your case dismissed on that basis alone! While the politically correct “stated” purpose of a DUI checkpoint is to deter drunk drivers1, we know better…it’s to arrest drunk drivers. When you approach a sobriety checkpoint, an officer is only supposed to ask you a couple of questions in order to determine quickly whether you display signs of intoxication. The officer will also likely shine a light into your car to see if you have any open containers of alcohol. If the officer believes that you may be impaired, he/she will direct you to an area to perform California DUI field sobriety tests (FSTs). At that point, a typical DUI investigation will ensue. If, after questioning you, the officer …

We are approaching a time in our country where people are detained and forced to take chemical tests because they refuse to answer police questions. This officer lied about smelling alcohol and seeing red and watery eyes. He did this to compel a breathalyzer and refused to allow me to take a blood test as required by law.

SANTA MARIA, California — Santa Maria Police Department conducted yet another unconstitutional and illegal DUI / Driver’s license checkpoint as part of California Office of Traffic Safety’s (OTS) “Year of the Checkpoint” campaign for 2010. The Santa Maria checkpoint was only one of more than 2500 (ostensibly) OTS-funded checkpoints which are due to be carried out within the state of California during 2010. (Following the money trail, the funding actually traces back to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which is an agency under the federal Department of Transportation (DOT), which is a cabinet position under the President of the United States.) If OTS’s “Year of the Checkpoint” campaign is successfully carried out, then California drivers will endure more than 208 of these unconstitutional / illegal checkpoints per month. “To my knowledge, California conducts more checkpoints than any other state,” said OTS Director Christopher J. Murphy. While DUI checkpoints were officially (if unconstitutionally) sanctioned by the Supreme Court’s Michigan vs. Sitz case, driver’s license checkpoints were not. However, a quick survey of police department websites reveals that most DUI / sobriety checkpoints are dual purpose; that is, police officers regularly check for driver’s licenses in addition to checking for driver impairment. Even though driver’s license checkpoints are not legal according to case law, most drivers are unaware of this fact and so the …
