Labor Day weekend is here, signifying the unofficial end of summer. Kids are returning to school and the sun is already setting earlier and earlier each night. Families and friends will gather over this holiday weekend to attend cookouts and parties and bid summer goodbye.
Many of these events will involve alcohol and where there is alcohol, there is always the risk of a DUI arrest. The state has announced that Illinois law enforcement will be out in full force, cracking down on drunk drivers with its Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign. Police from more than 250 departments, including the Illinois State Police and county sheriff’s offices, will be out in full force patrolling the state’s roads and conducting roadside safety checks.
If you or a loved one is charged with DUI this weekend, contact an Illinois defense lawyer to advocate for your rights.
