Midtown Tulsa DUI Checkpoint:  The Tulsa Police Department reported a DUI Checkpoint will be held on July 8 at an undisclosed location in Midtown from 10 pm until 3 am. The Tulsa World reported the location will be somewhere “midtown area of Florence Park South, a neighborhood south of 21st Street between Harvard Avenue and the Broken Arrow Expressway.”

Midtown Tulsa DUI Checkpoint

DUI checkpoints function as a general purpose investigatory tactic whereby police can get a close look at passing drivers by detaining them briefly. A roadblock Tulsa DUI checkpoint is quick, but it gives police a chance to check tags and licenses, while also giving officers a quick whiff of the driver’s breath and a chance to view inside the vehicle for a moment. While this type of random stop may seem unconstitutional at first blush, both the United States Supreme Court and the Oklahoma courts have upheld the validity in certain circumstances.

DUI Defense

Any drunk driving or drug-related DUI charge is a serious matter, whatever the exact circumstances and wherever the arrest occurred. Please recognize that: a basic first-offense Oklahoma DUI conviction can bring a sentence of up to one year in jail, a $1,000 fine plus hundreds in additional fees, driver’s license suspension and more. Additionally, “aggravating factors” such as a prior DUI conviction or the presence of a person under 18 in the vehicle significantly increase the potential for a lengthy jail sentence and other life-changing penalties.
