Why do officers waste taxpayers’ dollars on checkpoints or extra patrols?
Communities throughout American support increased criminal justice efforts to stop this illegal and life threatening offense. Studies show that the majority of Americans consider impaired driving as one of our nation’s most important social issues, ahead of healthcare, poverty/hunger, racism and educations. Nearly 97 percent of Americans view impaired driving as a major threat to the community. As a result, the majority of Americans support increased use of enforcement efforts, such as saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints, to protect innocent victims. And, two-thirds of American’s strongly endorse the use of stricter and more sever penalties against impaired drivers, to protect themselves and their loved ones.
