Kansas City Missouri Sobriety Checkpoints
Posted on Sep 8, 2011 8:24am PDT
Kansas City DUI law enforcement officers are utilizing their latest weapon
to detect
drunk driving - the Mobile
DUI Enforcement Center. This $395,000.00 vehicle is stationed at
DUI checkpoints throughout Kansas City and can process suspected DWI offenders and administer
breath tests on up to five people at a time.

DWI checkpoints are much more frequently used in Kansas City dwi enforcement. New locations
are being established on regular basis. Typically,
dui checkpoints are employed on the weekends, and are even more common on holiday weekends.
When pulling into a
dui checkpoint, a driver should be respectful and cooperative with police officers, but
at the same time should not admit to having consumed alcohol or agree
to perform
field sobriety testing. By respectuflly refusing preliminary
field sobriety testing, and by not having admitted to consuming alcohol, an officer may not have
reasonable grounds/probable cause to place the driver under arrest for
dui as there should also be no indication of bad driving since the vehicle
stop was not based on a traffic infraction, but rather was a random
checkpoint stop.
If you were stopped at a DUI or DWI checkpoint and were arrested, you need
the help of an experienced Kansas City dui defense lawyer. Looking for
