So I'm on vacation in CA last month, in the Palm Springs area. We're at dinner, a nice little mexican place. Now I'm driving from Ranch Mirage to Palm Springs and I go through a DUI road check with tons of cops. I've worked at these thing dozens of times, but I'm never been at one with so many cops.
They keep waving cars through, I dunno, 15 or 20 cars ahead of me gets waved through. Who do they pull over, but me. Now there was no problem, as I had nothing stronger than a decaf iced latte from starbucks (with equal, as I'm watching the carbs), but I wanted to talk to the cop about the procedure. He was polite and proffesional, but once he observed that I wasn't drunk, I was sent along. He seemed in a hurry, and I didn't even get a chance to ID myself.
What are the rules for DUI roadblocks in CA? Is the number fixed, or variable (those that pulled over). The rules in NY are quite strict. Just curious.
