Cathedral City Police to Spring a Sobriety Surprise This Friday

If you’re planning to cruise through Cathedral City on Friday night, you might want to think twice before mixing booze, buds, or pills with your drive. From 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., Cathedral City Police will be setting up a stealthy DUI checkpoint somewhere inside city limits — and no, they’re not giving away the location.

This isn’t just about catching the cliché tipsy driver wobbling down the road. Officers will be on the lookout for anyone whose behind-the-wheel judgment is clouded — whether from a strong cocktail, prescription medication, over-the-counter cold meds, or even perfectly legal recreational marijuana. The law’s simple: if it impairs you, you shouldn’t be driving.

Police Chief George Crum says the goal is to stop dangerous drivers before they can ruin someone’s night — or life. And if you think a quick buzz is worth the risk, remember that a first-time DUI can drain your wallet to the tune of $13,500 in fines and penalties, not to mention losing your license.

The checkpoint, funded by a California Office of Traffic Safety grant, is part of a broader effort to keep roads safer and late-night sirens quieter. Consider this your friendly heads-up: drive sober, call a ride, or plan to spend your evening anywhere but in the back of a patrol car.
