DWI Patrols Increased for Holiday Weekend

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

In an effort to NOT repeat the Memorial Day accident statistics, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety announced on Thursday that State Patrols will be prolific and diligent this weekend — against drunk drivers. The department will conduct Operation NightCAP (night time concentrated alcohol patrol) in a thirteen county area: Anoka, Blue Earth, Crow Wing, Dakota, Hennepin, Itasca, Ramsey, Rice, St. Louis, Sherburne, Stearns, Washington, and Wright. (They will also crack down on seat belt violations. Citations may now be issued even if there are no other violation.)

Last 4th of July weekend, 70% of the deaths were alcohol-related. There were nearly 2,000 arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. Operation NightCAP was very effective last year, issuing nearly 150 seatbelt citations and nearly 200 DWI arrests.

TSR Injury Law and MADD Minnesota applaud this additional effort taken to prevent a deadly weekend. Founding partner, Steve Terry, and MADD Minnesota Executive Director, Jean Mulvey, filmed a PSA commercial that will be airing this weekend. It is addresses the issue of drunk driving and the importance of a designated driver.

The Risks of DUI

It is one thing to make a decision that puts our own lives at risk. It is entirely different to make that decision about other people’s lives. Anyone who drives a car under the influence of any kind of drug falls into the second category. They can seriously injure or even kill innocent drivers or pedestrians.

These risks exist because alcohol impairs a person’s:

  • Judgment, leading to reckless behavior
  • Vision, leading to an inability to follow traffic laws
  • Response time, leading to an inability to handle emergencies
