Happy Labor Day America

We at Pacific Brew News hope you all have a great holiday weekend, hopefully you're able to get a three-day weekend out of Labor Day. For those who are driving and partying, remember the cops are all out in force to make a point, so be smart about the driving to drinking ratios.

For those living in the Northern California, the cops have come out and said they're increasing their patrols around Folsom Lake this weekend, as well as the major freeways (80, 5, 50). In fact, here's the statement from California AVOID's website (which I found shockingly informative).

The following is a partial list of specialized DUI enforcement:

Friday August 29:

• DUI / Drivers License checkpoint to be held in the City of Davis at Richards and Olive Drive.
• Lodi Police Department to conduct Saturation Patrol, from 7 pm – 3 am
• Escalon Police Department to conduct Saturation Patrol, from 7 pm – 3 am
• Sobriety Checkpoint to take place in Ripon, from 7 pm – 3 am
• The CHP will place all available officers on the road to assist AVOID allied agencies in removing intoxicated drivers from County roadways.

Saturday August 30:

• Saturation Patrols to take place in the Cities of Livingston, and Los Banos.
• DUI Checkpoint hosted by the UC Davis Police Department
• Multi-Agency Saturation patrol to be held from 6 pm – 2 am. Participating agencies include Lathrop Police Department, Tracy Police Department, Ripon Police Department, and Stockton Police Department.
• The CHP will place all available officers on the road to assist AVOID allied agencies in removing intoxicated drivers from County roadways

There will also be an increased presence in Placer County and I'd expect Yolo as well.
