Oakland halts DUI checkpoints after Hispanic leaders complain

OAKLAND, Calif. The Oakland Police Department has halted its use of D-U-I
checkpoints after the city's Hispanic leaders complained that the roadblocks
were ensnaring too many illegal immigrants.

D-U-I checkpoints allow police officers to demand drivers' licenses and
proof of insurance. City leaders agree the roadblocks are an effective way
to get drunken drivers off the streets.

But Hispanic community leaders and City Council President Ignacio De La
Fuente complained that the checkpoints were making life miserable for
illegal immigrants who aren't licensed to drive but otherwise obey the law.

Police Chief Richard Word has ordered a month-long moratorium on the
checkpoints while the department drafts new guidelines.

But City Councilmember Larry Reid says stopping the D-U-I checkpoints
threatens public safety.

Unbelievable. We do all this work to keep a Governor from handing them
Licenses, but them the cities do this - public safety and lawful be
damned. It's better to have your family die on the road, than
negatively impact the comings and goings of illegal foriegn nationals.
I should learn more Spanish, so that next time I'm stopped, I can
count on immunity before the law. Fuck smog checks, fuck wearing
glasses, fuck forking over registration and insurance loot; just hand
me a Budweiser and watch out for your ass, white boys.
