(USGovernment-News.Com, August 24, 2013 ) Oklahoma City, OK – The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Department plans to have extra patrol officers on our roadways this Saturday enforcing speeding and seat belt violations.
The 12-hour traffic safety initiative will begin around 3 p.m. on Saturday and will end with several DUI checkpoints at undisclosed locations throughout the city. Officials reported that anyone caught drinking and driving will be taken to jail.
These efforts are in coordination with the nationwide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” campaign. This campaign will be lasting from mid-August through Labor Day across the nation’s roadways.
In the United States, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have established laws making it illegal to operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 grams per deciliter or higher.
