Harford County DUI Checkpoint Set For April: Sheriff

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — During a special detail this April, law enforcement in Harford County will be checking for those who are driving while intoxicated.

The Harford County Sheriff's Office is conducting a sobriety checkpoint Saturday, April 17. A location was not disclosed. However, authorities said the checkpoint would be happening at night.

In Maryland, the legal blood alcohol limit is .08. Those who plan on drinking should designate a sober driver.

Here are some numbers for local cabs:

• Victory Cab in Aberdeen: 410-838-5700
• ABC Taxi in Aberdeen: 410-272-0272
• Montville Taxi in Havre de Grace: 410-939-0900
• We Got Cha Taxi in Aberdeen: 410-937-7917

By law, authorities have to announce the sobriety checkpoint before it happens.

In a Supreme Court case about the 4th and 14th Amendments, the court ruled that citizens' rights against unlawful search and seizure are not violated if checkpoints are publicized in advance.
