The Cypress Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint on Friday, May 21, 2021, at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m.
DUI Checkpoints like this one are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests. Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, with officers checking drivers for proper licensing.
The Cypress Department reminds drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, you might be impaired enough to get a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, resulting in a DUI.
