No arrests make stops a success DUI checkpoints are working, police say By Gina MortonThe Daily Item "Ideally, this all happens in a 30-second conversation," Lauver said.
Ultimately, the driver will be allowed to continue through unless there are signs of impairment or other evidence that he may be intoxicated. Like any other traffic stop, Lauver said, the driver will be taken to a testing area to do field sobriety tests if needed. At the most recent DUI checkpoint, held on Route 11 outside of Northumberland in May, Hahn said 923 cars were stopped and two people were charged with DUI. Several license, registration and insurance problems also were found. Roving patrols also are included in the funding, Lauver said, when extra officers are put on the streets to target aggressive driving.
