Goleta DUI Checkpoint This Friday

Goleta Police are rolling out a major DUI checkpoint this Friday, June 5th, from 6 PM to 2 AM—location TBD but chosen for past drunk driving hotspots. This isn’t just about arrests; it’s about keeping everyone safe by making impaired driving a serious, unavoidable risk. They’ll target any driver showing signs of being under the influence—whether from alcohol, prescription meds, or even OTC drugs—and yes, driving high is still illegal. First-time offenders face steep fines averaging $13,500 plus license loss. Funded by a state grant and coordinated with the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office, this crackdown aims to prevent tragedies before they happen. Plan ahead, stay sober, and keep the roads safe for everyone. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
