- The California Office of the Traffic Safety had declared 2010 “Year of the Checkpoint”. The issued grants will be used for more checkpoints than ever before. A recent watchdog report shows that these checkpoints are making millions of dollars in towing fees and police fees and so many arrests of unlicensed and suspended drivers are made also.
A police officer told that these checkpoints are not working as money generator and we get a small percentage of the tow as an administrative cost and that is so small.
In last 2 years Palm Springs had been given over $300,000 from the federal government in order to make more checkpoints. That’s why in 2009 Palm Springs held eight more checkpoints and that resulted 22 DUI arrests.
