The more time you spend on the road, the greater chance there is that you will eventually drive directly into a DUI checkpoint. This is particularly true if you drive a lot during the evening and nighttime hours.
This can be a scary situation, especially if you have recently consumed one or more alcoholic beverage.
When people are caught dealing drugs or using them, the best thing for them isn't always to be sent to prison. In reality, those using drugs often need substance abuse counseling and assistance to get their lives back on track.

In regards to the penalty, a white collar crime can be every bit as serious as one that entails physical violence or drugs.
A white collar crime charge can take a toll on your life, as this typically begins with many months or years of investigation.
The federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) makes it illegal for any organized group of individuals that conspire with one another to engage in any unlawful act. So, too, does the California Control of Profits of Organized Crime Act, Sections 186.2 and 186.3 of the state Penal Code.
Under both of these laws, members of any group that engages in embezzlement, drug distribution, murder or money laundering may be charged with racketeering or organized crime.
A 35-year-old Visalia woman was charged with fraud, identify theft and drug possession after being arrested in the Mooney Boulevard Walmart parking lot at 3:40 a.m., on Friday, May 4. When police found her there, she apparently had as much as $95,000 worth of uncashed checks in her possession.
When questioned by police about where she had gotten the checks from, she reportedly told police that she'd used a special tool to burglarize mailboxes at at least one local post office. She also apparently told police that she spent months frequenting these receptacles around the first of every month.
Cyberstalking is a type of crime that harnesses the power of the internet to harass and intimidate someone.
