Two DWI stops in Monmouth County this weekend
The Monmouth County DWI Taskforce will conduct two drunk driving checkpoints this weekend in an attempt to apprehend any individual who is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The first DWI stop will be held in Wall Township on Route 34 from 11 p.m. this evening through 3 a.m. tomorrow morning. The second DWI stop will be held tomorrow night in Spring Lake Heights on Route 71. This checkpoint will also be held from 11 p.m. through 3 a.m.
As long as certain administrative procedures are followed, DWI checkpoints are constitutional, legal, and valid in New Jersey as a traffic stop in drunk driving cases. Thus, it is important to be aware of these DWI stops and remain under the legal limit (.08% BAC) when driving through a DWI checkpoint.
