* Sobriety checkpoints: These are set up at various locations throughout a city or county, and all drivers are required to stop and submit to a breathalyzer test. If a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal limit, they will be arrested.
* Random breath testing: This is when cops stop drivers at random and ask them to submit to a breathalyzer test. If a driver's BAC is above the legal limit, they will be arrested.
* Field sobriety tests: These are a series of tests that cops can administer to drivers who are suspected of being drunk. These tests include things like walking in a straight line, reciting the alphabet, and touching your nose with your finger. If a driver fails any of these tests, they will be arrested.
* Observation: Cops are trained to look for signs of intoxication in drivers, such as weaving in and out of lanes, driving too fast or too slow, and failing to stop at stop signs or red lights. If a cop sees a driver who is exhibiting these signs, they will pull them over and investigate further.
In addition to these methods, cops can also use other evidence to help them determine whether a driver is drunk, such as the driver's admission of guilt, the smell of alcohol on the driver's breath, and the presence of open alcohol containers in the vehicle.
If you are caught driving drunk, you could face serious penalties, including jail time, fines, and loss of your driver's license. It is important to remember that drinking and driving is not worth the risk. If you are going to drink, please make sure to have a designated driver take you home.
