Torrance Police Department conducted a DUI – License checkpoint on Pacific Coast Highway on June 22, 2012. A minivan came through driven by a female with a male passenger. The police forced the driver and the passenger to show ID and then forced the passenger to perform a field sobriety test. Are these checkpoints really about stopping drunk drivers and if so how come Torrance PD is targeting passengers ? After watching the FST being conducted the male passenger appears to have passed it perfectly and didnt appear inpaired. Police kept him anyway.
