BERLIN — On the evening of Sept. 4, the Berlin Police Department held a sobriety checkpoint in the city of Berlin on Route 16, also known as Glen Avenue. The sobriety checkpoint application was previously granted and authorized by a Superior Court judge.
In a statement Berlin Police Chief Jeffrey Lemoine said: “The sobriety checkpoint was applied for in response to the growing number of vehicle miles traveled, which directly correlates to a rise in motor vehicle crashes including fatal crashes in New Hampshire and across the country. Sobriety checkpoints are a proven and authorized method of deterrence for drivers who would drive impaired by alcohol and/or drugs. Sobriety checkpoints have been upheld as constitutional by the United States Supreme Court.
