Tampa DUI Attorneys are often asked about the specifics of Tampa DUI checkpoints. These checkpoints lead to many DUI arrests throughout the greater Tampa Bay Area. Many Tampa DUIs originate at Tampa DUI checkpoints as opposed to the driver being pulled over for poor driving or some other reason.
We have posted elsewhere on our Tampa DUI Attorney Blog concerning the specifics of checkpoints and what to expect at a DUI checkpoint. Without going too far into the matter, there are very specific legal requirements for Tampa DUIs originating out of a DUI Checkpoint. The upcoming Tampa DUI Checkpoints in Florida are as follows:

Needless to say, there is a clear increase during December in light of the number of Holiday Parties, Happy Hour type events and New Year’s Eve. We strongly recommend folks attending these events to utilize a number of safe options to get home after attending holiday events in light of the increased amount of Tampa DUI patrols.
