Zero Tolerance Policy

Prohibition of drinking for those under the age of 21
Vehicular Homicide
Definition:
Vehicular homicide is the killing of another person by one’s unlawful or negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
Reasonable suspicion
Definition:
The officer must have what is legally termed a "reasonable suspicion," based on something unusual that is actually observed about the way a person is driving. This is a very low standard and it can be satisfied by virtually anything which appears out of the ordinary and that might be a sign of a driver being under the influence. In addition, during holiday seasons, police officers typically set up field sobriety checkpoints where they routinely stop every driver who passes through the checkpoint.
