Ontario police increase DUI enforcement on weekends and holidays. What to do if you get charged.
The police tend to step up DUI enforcement on days they anticipate drunk drivers will be on the road so weekends generally they are on peak patrol. They also tend to set up checkpoints (RIDE programs) on the weekend to seek out people to charge. Weekends and holidays are when they specifically ramp up efforts to catch people.While there are hardcore alcoholics that get charged with impaired driving, most of our clients are first time offenders who don’t have a substantial alcohol abuse problem. People charged on the weekend are more likely to fit the profile of someone who binge drinks from time to time. They may also just simply went out with the spouse and had a few drinks at a restaurant only to get pulled over shortly after leaving the parking lot.
Waitresses and bartenders will report your alcohol consumption to security who will then watch to see if you drive off. They then call the police and report it because they do not want the liability of a civil lawsuit should the person get in an accident after they served them liquor.
If you have been charged with a DUI don't think it is hopeless. Charges get dropped all the time and maybe they can be dropped for you too.
Charges can be dropped if there are problems with your case. The police may be just "going through the motions" on the weekends/holidays and are lax on following proper procedures that can work in your favour.
