Virginia State Police Increase DUI Patrols in Norfolk, Statewide
Posted on Nov 24, 2010
Drinking and driving this weekend in Virginia could cost you. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, from Wednesday to Sunday, the Virginia State Police will be increasing patrols to 75 percent of their uniformed personnel. This massive effort is part of the nationwide Operation Combined Accident Reduction Effort, or C.A.R.E.
Another effort, the Motor Enforcement Accident Reduction, or M.E.A.R. will be increasing motorcycle patrols across Hampton Roads to include Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach.
Police have stated that their massive efforts are meant to deter people from drinking and driving. Last Thanksgiving 16 people died in accidents over the extended weekend. State and local officers will be looking for speeding, reckless or impaired drivers. They will also be ticketing those who are not wearing seatbelts or have not properly restrained their children.
Last year Operation C.A.R.E. was responsible for the citing over 13,000 drivers for infractions that ranged from impaired driving to speeding.
Though some may doubt the fairness of such massive citation campaigns the reality is that Virginia State Police will be out in force the next four days. Our criminal law and accident attorneys urge you to stay safe: Find a sober way home.
