DUI Checkpoint Tampa after the USF game

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office will have a DUI Checkpoint set up at the Southwest corner of Dale Mabry & Waters at the Albertson's parking lot. The Checkpoint will run from 10 pm to 5 am on Friday, September 28th, 2007. Saturation patrols will also be used.

Deputies from District III, West Hillsborough County will be manning the BAT Unit and remote booking facility. Transport will be provided to the Hillsborough County Jail at Orient Road.

There are numerous legal requirements and procedures that must be followed. A Tampa Hillsborough DUI Lawyer or Attorney can evaluate the validity of DUI arrests made during these sweeps. The Florida Highway Patrol Manual states:

POLICY 17.08 - 3

The operational plan will be completed and submitted to the troop commander no less than 10 days prior to the start of the DUI Checkpoint. The operational plan will contain at a minimum the following:

a. Purpose.
b. Objectives.
c. Operational Time-Line.
d. Specific Job Assignments.
e. Job Descriptions.
f. Equipment List.
g. Manpower Allocation.
h. Contingency Plan.
i. Alternate Scheduling Date.
j. Provisions for an After Action Report/Critique.
k. Approval/Disapproval Section with a space for the troop commander’s signature.

Each operational plan for a DUI Checkpoint will specify the techniques to be used (i.e., driver license inspection, registration inspection, vehicle equipment inspection, sobriety inspection, motorist insurance inspection or a combination thereof.) The purpose and procedures of the safety check will be uniformly applied during the operation.

Assigned members do not have the authority to change the operational plan. Member discretion will not be used in adjusting the plan with the exception of the safety check supervisor who will document the reason(s) for any adjustments.
