Sobriety Checkpoints

Many cities throughout Pennsylvania set up multiple DUI sobriety checkpoints during weekends and holidays. Philadelphia, however, is choosing to conduct fewer checkpoints in favor or more DUI saturation patrols.  By doing so, arresting officers are able to target more drunk drivers on any given night without having to announce the time and location prior to its commencement.

Unlike DUI sobriety checkpoints which are structured, DUI saturation patrol officers are able to roam the cities, ensuring the safety of motorists without having to make a big scene. Most motorists are able to research the DUI checkpoint locations and oftentimes, avoid a certain location knowing a checkpoint is scheduled to occur. 

If you happen to be arrested during either a DUI sobriety checkpoint or a DUI saturation patrol, contact The Law Offices of Scott Cohen at 267-238-3841. We will look into your case and we offer reasonable prices to get you the best possible representation.
