Miami Police are cracking down on drunk drivers with a large multi-agency DUI checkpoint on Thursday from 7 p.m. to midnight, according to a news release.
The checkpoint will take place in the City of Miami's Downtown NET Service area at NE 5 Avenue and 79 Street.
Along with the checkpoint, officials will be conducting a DUI saturation patrol, looking for drivers who are breaking any traffic laws. Drivers not wearing a seatbelt will also be ticketed as police will show zero tolerance.
Officials say the goal of the checkpoint is to identify and apprehend impaired drivers to prevent them from harming others.
