今晚6时至凌晨2时：加州橙县Mission Viejo设DUI检查站，Laguna Hills周六同步举行交通安全行动
位于加利福尼亚州橙县的 Mission Viejo 市今晚将设酒驾检查站。橙县警长办公室（Orange County Sheriff's Department）10 月 28 日宣布，将于 10 月 30 日周五晚 6 时至次日凌晨 2 时，在 Mission Viejo 市内一处不公开的地点设置 DUI（酒驾/药驾）与驾照检查站。
警长办公室表示，检查站的选址依据碰撞统计与 DUI 逮捕频次确定。执勤警员将留意驾驶人是否有酒精或药物受损迹象，并核查驾驶人是否持有有效驾照。
警长办公室提醒，DUI 不只是酒驾：服用处方药、尤其是标签上带有驾驶或操作机械警告的药物，也可能造成足以构成 DUI 的受损状态；大麻同样会损害驾驶能力，与酒精或其他药物叠加时尤其如此。
警长办公室同时给出万圣节周末的安全提醒：出行前安排好清醒的指定驾驶人，或使用网约车、出租车与公共交通回家；看到明显受损的人试图开车时，应拿走其钥匙并帮其安排清醒的回家方式；发现酒驾驾驶人可拨打 911 报告；举办派对的主人应提供无酒精饮料，并留意宾客的饮酒情况与回家方式。
警长办公室指出，一次 DUI 被捕的代价可超过 13,500 美元，包括罚款、费用、DUI 课程、驾照吊扣与其他支出，还可能面临监禁。
此外，橙县警长办公室 10 月 29 日另行宣布，将于 10 月 31 日周六在 Laguna Hills 市举行交通安全行动，重点查处对骑行者与行人安全威胁最大的驾驶行为，包括超速、违规转弯、未礼让骑行者或行人、未按标志与信号停车等。警长 K. Ishii 表示，骑行者与行人享有同样的道路权利，但没有车辆的保护、风险更高，道路使用者应当彼此照应。
上述检查站与交通安全行动的经费，均由加州交通安全办公室（California Office of Traffic Safety）通过国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）提供的拨款资助。
Tonight 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.: DUI Checkpoint in Mission Viejo, Orange County; Laguna Hills Traffic Safety Operation Follows Saturday
The Orange County Sheriff's Department announced on October 28, 2026, that it will conduct a DUI/driver's license checkpoint on Friday, October 30, from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. at an undisclosed location in the city of Mission Viejo, in Orange County, California.
Checkpoint locations are chosen based on collision statistics and the frequency of DUI arrests. Deputies will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment and will check drivers for proper licensing.
The Sheriff's Department reminds drivers that 'DUI doesn't just mean booze.' Prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, can impair a driver enough to result in a DUI, and marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs.
The department offers these reminders for a safe Halloween weekend: always use a designated sober driver, ride-share, cab, or public transportation to get home; if you see someone who is clearly impaired try to drive, take the keys and help them make other arrangements; report drunk drivers by calling 911; and if you are hosting a party, offer nonalcoholic drinks and monitor who is drinking and how they are getting home.
Drivers caught driving impaired and charged with DUI can expect the impact of an arrest to be upwards of $13,500, including fines, fees, DUI classes, license suspension, and other expenses, not to mention possible jail time.
Separately, the Sheriff's Department announced on October 29 that it will conduct a traffic safety operation on Saturday, October 31, in the city of Laguna Hills, focused on the most dangerous driver behaviors that put people biking or walking at risk, including speeding, making illegal turns, failing to yield to bicyclists or pedestrians, and failing to stop for signs and signals. 'Bicyclists and pedestrians have the same rights to the road but face even more risk without the protections vehicles have. We should all be looking out for one another,' Sergeant K. Ishii said.
Funding for both the checkpoint and the operation is provided by grants from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
