DUI
Saturation Patrols This Friday
San
Francisco Police Department’s Traffic Unit will be conducting DUI saturation
patrols Friday, August 18th, 2017 between the hours of 7:00 P.M. and 3:00 A.M.
Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up
to 20 percent when well-publicized DUI checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols
are conducted routinely.
Officers
will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment by checking drivers
for proper licensing, delaying motorists only momentarily. When possible,
specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of
drug-impaired driving. Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in
fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems. A study of active drivers
showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than
did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at
7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol.
Drivers
caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail
time, fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000, not to
mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out.
Funding for
this checkpoint is provided to the San Francisco Police Department by a grant
from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to ‘Report Drunk Drivers –
Call 9-1-1’.
Arrests:
2:43am Ocean & Mission Firearm
A
vehicle with paper plates, driving erratically, caught the attention of
Ingleside Officers Dominguez and George. The officers turned on their overhead
lights and activate their siren and pulled the vehicle over at Ocean and
Mission. The driver stayed in the car but the front seat passenger tried to
exit the vehicle. However, he was prevented by Officer George. A search of the
vehicle revealed a quantity of marijuana, a pipe used to smoke narcotics, along
with an unregistered firearm. The driver was unlicensed but the car had a valid
registration. A computer check of the passenger revealed several arrests on
weapons charges and a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon. Two women
passengers in the back seat were released at the scene. The driver was issued a
citation for driving with a suspended license. The passenger was arrested for
being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and resisting arrest. Report
number: 170660736
7:10pm San Jose/Mt. Vernon Stolen
Auto
A
woman, who’s older Honda Accord was stolen the previous week in Oakland, spotted
her vehicle parked at San Jose and Mt. Vernon. The woman called her sister who
traveled to the location, before calling police. Ingleside Officers Cortez and
Wells arrived on scene and arrested a man sitting in the passenger seat. He
admitted knowing the car was stolen. He also had a quantity of methamphetamine
in one of his pockets. The victim requested a tow truck to respond to the scene
so the car, which didn’t have seats, a hood, door panels, and other critical
parts, could be towed back to their Oakland home. The women said the 21 year
old Honda was their daily transportation before being stolen. The suspect was
arrested for vehicle theft and possession of narcotics. Report number:
