The Buena Park Police Department will conduct a DUI checkpoint on Thursday, December 19, at an undisclosed location within the city. The checkpoint will run from 7:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., according to a media release from the department.
The goal of DUI checkpoints is to reduce impaired driving and prevent crashes. “Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” said Sgt. Connor Lee. Officers will be looking for drivers under the influence of alcohol, prescription medications, or illegal drugs. While some medications are legal, they can still impair driving ability. Marijuana use while driving remains illegal in California.
