FHP to increase enforcement during 4th of July
Fort Lauderdale Criminal Attorney Gary Cole learned that the Florida Highway Patrol will conduct Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) from July 3rd through July 5th. Operation C.A.R.E will focus on drives who speed, do not wear seat belts, and who may be Driving Under the Influence.
All available troopers, auxiliary troopers, and reserve troopers will be visible on the roads conducting DUI checkpoints and using DUI roving teams over the three day weekend. FHP plans to use RADAR, LASER, motorcycles, marked and unmarked patrol vehicles to track speeders and aggressive drivers. In certain areas, FHP plans to use its aircraft to spot violators from the air and then direct troopers on the ground to make the traffic stop. Operation C.A.R.E will focus FHP efforts on every interstate, the Florida turnpike and other major state roads throughout Florida.
