In Suffolk County, New York, police officials will increase DWI patrol units and checkpoints over the Fourth of July weekend and throughout the summer to enforce DWI impaired driving. This includes impaired by drugs as well as by alcohol. This initiative, part of the "Summer STOP-DWI Campaign," aims to prevent accidents and fatalities related to drunk and drugged driving. The campaign will focus on areas from Huntington to the Hamptons including Southampton and East Hampton and will specifically target young adults, who have been disproportionately involved in alcohol-related crashes during past Fourth of July celebrations. You should obtain the guidance of an experienced DWI lawyer in Suffolk County to guide you through the process of any DWI arrest.
