Law enforcements advertise campaign. Published Aug. 28, 2007 By 325th Fighter Wing 325th Fighter Wing Public Affairs TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Law enforcement will be in full force conducting the "Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest." campaign this Labor Day holiday. This event will be the largest national advertising campaign to highlight law enforcement efforts against drinking and driving. The 325th Security Forces Squadron announced today its plans to participate for the fifth consecutive year in a campaign of this nature. The nationwide crackdown started last week and will run until the Labor Day holiday is over, said Investigator Alijhondroe Wiley, 325th SFS chief of investigations. Uniform blood alcohol concentration laws strengthen the hand of law enforcement agencies allowing them to arrest and prosecute dangerous drunk drivers to fullest extent of the law. The crackdown will take place during the Labor Day holiday period with the intention of targeting the end-of-summer impaired driving offenders. Driving with a BAC of .08 or higher is illegal in every state. "In 2006, 13,470 fatalities occurred in crashes involving at least one driver or motorcycle operator who had a .08 or above Blood Alcohol Concentration compared with 13,582 in 2005," reports Wiley. "Drunk driving is a serious crime," he said. The tragedies and costs from driving impaired do not just end at the potential death, disfigurement, disability and injury caused by impaired drivers. Violators often face jail time, the loss of their driver's license, higher insurance rates, dozens of other unanticipated expenses from attorney fees, other fines and court costs, car towing, repairs and lost time at work. "Our message is clear, 'if you drink, are impaired and drive, you will be arrested. It's just not worth it,' said Wiley. The 325th Security Forces Squadron reminds everyone: Whenever you plan on consuming alcohol, designate a sober driver before going out and give that person your keys. If you're impaired, call a taxi, use mass transit or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely.
