Operation Firecracker & DWIDUI Checkpoints

Summer may have officially started June 21st, but last night started likely the first of many DWI/DUI checkpoints in Mecklenburg County. According to the Charlotte Observer, CMPD issued forty six charges at a DWI checkpoint in South Charlotte last night. Eight people were charged with DWI/DUI and seven were charged with Driving While License Revoked. Other charges included open container of alcohol and other miscellaneous traffic charges.

North Carolina's Department of Transportation "Booze it & Lose It: Operation Firecracker" campaign runs from June 28 through July 7. I found this video on their website.

If you have been arrested for a DWI/DUI, it is important to contact an criminal defense attorney for a consultation.
