San Diego County Sheriff's Crime Laboratory - where DUI & DNA is tested - look inside at this video

Look inside the San Diego County Sheriff's Crime Laboratory at this TV special. Whether it is DNA or DUI, the samples must be tested properly; otherwise criminal defense attorneys will attack it. The examiners take a look at the evidence gathered at the crime scene.

The San Diego County Sheriff's Crime Lab Clairemont performs services for all law enforcement agencies in the county but not San Diego Police Department, plus federal and state agencies for free. The lab does DNA, firearms, alcohol, drugs, documents, trace and fingerprint analysis.

DNA is powerful, but it's not magic. It may not be the answer in all cases and please don't believe everything you see on TV especially the time it takes to process evidence, San Diego California DUI Lawyers are told.

North San Diego County DUI Checkpoint Results in just 2 Drunk Driving Arrests, say San Diego DUI criminal defense lawyers

With taxpayer money to burn, San Diego Sheriff's Department's Encinitas station sponsored a fairly unsuccesful Memorial Day long weekend DUI Checkpoint Sunday, resulting in only 2 drunk driving arrests, say criminal defense attorneys in San Diego.

San Diego Deputies getting paid big bucks to work at Encinitas Sheriff’s Station spent more time eating donuts and drinking coffee than arresting DUI drivers. There were just a couple. Their Sunday, May 27, 2012 8:50 p.m. to Monday, May 28, 2012 1:45 a.m. San Diego DUI Checkpoint around 500 North Highway 101 in Solana Beach, posted this mild activity. This relatively law-abiding area may have been better served by SAN DIEGO DUI roving patrols, suggest lawyers with 29 years of experience.

San Diego's DUI Checkpoints tonight, last night and next Saturday night, warns San Diego County DUI Law Center's Attorney Rick Mueller



On Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, May 26, 2012, San Diego county DUI deputies and drunk driving cops staged a DUI checkpoint trap around 2800 Jamacha Road in El Cajon California area, lawyers are told. Thirty-eight motorists were ordered to secondary DUI screening and nine voluntary drunk driving FST's were administered to volunteer. But, despite all this taxpayer money spent, there were only 2 DUI arrests!

The next San Diego county DUI checkpoint is tonight in Solana Beach, attorneys remind.

Then, next Saturday, June 2, 2012, in a presently undisclosed location in Poway California, from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., DUI deputies employed by San Diego County Sheriff’s Department will trap as many motorists as possible at a newly announced Drunk Driving roadblock, San Diego County DUI Law Center and other drunk driving lawyers are told.

Memorial Day Weekend San Diego DUI Checkpoint Press Release: SDPD in PB tonight, Sunday at 500 North Highway 101 Solana Beach, warn lawyers, as results of Lemon Grove & San Marcos DUI Checkpoints are only 1 drunk driving arrest!!!

San Diego DUI Checkpoint Newsflash!

500 North Highway 101, Solana Beach is the location for Sunday May 27th's North Coastal San Diego California DUI Checkpoint. Avoid that area between 7:30 pm and 2:30 a.m., DUI attorneys providing current locations warn.

Don't forget tonight's San Diego PD DUI Checkpoint in Pacific Beach! See this article.

So far, 2 of the major San Diego County DUI Checkpoints have not been fruitful for drunk driving cops. Only 1 DUI arrest was made between 2 drunk driving checkpoints in San Diego County, say lawyers.

1. On May 25, 2012, from 8:00 PM to 1:30 AM, Lemon Grove area San Diego County Sheriff's Deputies staged a DUI checkpoint near 7900 Broadway. What a waste of taxpayer money. This drunk driving roadblock was manned by 15 highly paid DUI sheriff deputies. Overzealous MADD volunteers assisted at the checkpoint by handing out DUI information to drivers. 584 vehicle drivers were unnecessarily delayed by this San Diego DUI checkpoint but there were no DUI arrests.

53 vehicles' drivers' personal liberties were further infringed upon as they were unnecessarily directed into a secondary inspection area for harassment as so-called "further (DUI) evaluation." So 53 hunches all meant nothing?! Not one drunk driver out of 584!

2. On May 25, 2012 from 7:00 p.m. till 1:00 a.m., at 100 W. Mission Road, San Marcos, DUI donut-eating deputies trapped motorists via another wasteful DUI checkpoint in the City of San Marcos.

Total Cars through the Checkpoint: 556

Total Cars into the Checkpoint: 419

Cars Sent to Secondary for Evaluation: 29

DUI Evaluations: 5

DUI Arrests: 1
