Specifically, police departments in Evesham, Bordentown, Cinnaminson, Delran, Medford, Mount Laurel, New Hanover, Palmyra and\u00a0Riverside\u00a0will all receive $5,500 in overtime grant money from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety for the purpose of\u00a0DWI\u00a0monitoring and checkpoints. This program runs from now until Labor Day Weekend. That means each and every driver needs to be particularly careful and cautious in any decisions they make driving late at night. If you are caught\u00a0driving under the influence of alcohol\u00a0or\u00a0driving under the influence of marijuana, you could be subject to mandatory license suspension, thousands of dollars in fines and surcharges, installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle and possible incarceration in the Burlington County Jail!What is a DWI Blitz?Essentially, a \u201cDWI Blitz\u201d is an initiative by the local, county or state entity to focus their patrols and searches for violations of New Jersey Driving While Intoxicated statute\u00a0N.J.S.A.\u00a039:4-50. This is not to say that police departments are not always seeking out these types of violations. Rather, as is the case here, the State is providing financial support to pay these police officers more money to work overtime hours seeking out possible violations.In the past these initiatives have proven successful. For example, during\u00a0last summer\u2019s initiative, almost 1,200 arrests were made for Driving Under the Influence of Drugs or Alcohol. This was in addition to almost 10,000 other minor traffic violations like speeding, driving while suspended,\u00a0reckless driving, and\u00a0leaving the scene of an accident. Some of these arrests came from sanction DWI Checkpoints (where officers pull over every vehicle on a particular roadway) while others stemmed from basic patrol work. Whatever the scenario, the penalties can be devastating, if convicted.What are NJ Penalties for Drunk Driving?Driving While Intoxicated charges carry varying penalties, depending upon the number of prior offense (if any), whether the offense occurred in a\u00a0school zone,\u00a0the level of intoxication and the whether you are under of drugs or alcohol (there is a difference between the two). The penalties are as follows:First Offense DWI with a BAC Less than 0.10%Mandatory\u00a03 month license suspensionUp to 30 days in the Burlington County JailThousands of dollars in fines and surcharges12 to 48 hours in the Intoxicated Drivers Resource Center (IDRC)First Offense DWI with a BAC Above 0.10% or Drug DUIMandatory license suspension between 7 and 12 monthsUp to 30 days in the Burlington County JailIf your BAC 0.15% or greater: mandatory\u00a0ignition interlock device\u00a0during suspension and 6 to 12 months following restorationThousands of dollars in fines and surcharges12 to 48 hours in the Intoxicated Drivers Resource Center (IDRC)Second Offense DWI in BordentownMandatory 2 year license suspensionMandatory 2 to 90 days in the Burlington County JailInstallation of an Ignition Interlock Device for the period of suspension and an additional 1 to 3 years following restorationThousands of dollars in fines and surcharges12 to 48 hours in the Intoxicated Drivers Resource Center (IDRC)Third Offense DWI in EveshamMandatory 10 year loss of licenseMandatory 180 days in the Burlington County JailInstallation of an Ignition Interlock Device for the period of suspension and an additional 1 to 3 years following restorationThousands of dollars in fines and surcharges12 to 48 hours in the Intoxicated Drivers Resource Center (IDRC)Lawyers for DWI Charges Near MeOur firm\u2019s attorneys have handled thousands of drunk driving, driving while intoxicated and driving of the influence of drugs charges throughout our careers.
