DUI Competition?
Did you know that law enforcement has a competition every year to decide who has pulled over the most DUI suspects? Los Angeles actually came in second in the state for DUI arrests and procedures. During a week-long competition between various counties and cities throughout California, DUI arrests for the three-week year-end campaign were up 85 percent over the previous year, rising from 84 to 153. And that's just in Monterey Count! Statewide, the campaign tied for the honor with Fresno County's Avoid the 21 effort. That county's population is more than double that of Monterey County.
Imagine being arrested, charged and convicted of a Los Angeles DUI charge, just so the county could win a competition. The officers and law enforcement agencies seemed to value their competition over constitutional rights and the fact that a DUI charge could change a person's life forever.
