DUI Roadblocks or Checkpoints in Tampa, Hillsborough County, FL
One constitutional requirement for a DUI checkpoint mandates that the checkpoint is scheduled in advance, and that certain details about the roadblock are announced to the public in advance. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office publishes such a list of DUI roadblocks, checkpoints, saturations and heightened patrols. HCSO has scheduled one DUI checkpoint or roadblock during May of 2010.
