Fresno DUI Checkpoint | Â Catches Attempted Murder Suspect
Fresno DUI Checkpoints have always seemed to be geared toward more than bringing awareness to the risks and dangers of driving while under the influence. Â The loss of individual freedom, which is surrendered when a checkpoint occurs, has always been a slippery slope balancing the greater good against he loss of individual freedom to be free from search and seizure absent individualized suspicioun. Â However, much publicized arrests of dangerous felons or people accused of being dangerous felons has been used a propaganda to help gain public support. Â Tough cases make for bad law. Â Also, good results can help support intrusions on personal liberties.
In this case, a alleged attempted murderer was caught at a Fresno DUI Checkpoint when he jumped out of the car rather than continueing through the checkpoint and risking discovery. Â The police were able to apprehend him soon thereafter. Â However, the accused also was alleged to have a handgun concealed on him when he was arrested. Â Concealed weapons charges can aggravate any other charges he has or be changed as an offense themselves.
