Police agencies across Arizona are launching patrols to seek out drunken drivers during the July 4 holiday.
Governor's Office of Highway Safety director Alberto Gutier says about 50 police agencies in the state will take part in the special patrols.
The patrols will run from Tuesday night through Saturday.
The Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and Tempe police departments kicked off the patrols on Tuesday night.
The areas that police will focus on include the eastern suburbs in metro Phoenix and the highway leading to Lake Pleasant.

Love...love...love....D.U.I. Checkpoints....they catch lots and lots of Illegal Aliens out in the Avenues and the Presidents....Bush Highway is a good place for to bag them too.
Be sure and set up a few in the "white collar" areas too....Scottdale Road, Hayden, Mill Ave. (anywhere near ASU)....OH AND DON'T FORGET THE ROADS INTO AND OUT OF THE CASINOS (it's not racial or ethnic profiling = it's "crime interdiction".....lol)
WE WANNA SEE YOU LAW ENFORCEMENT TYPES USING LOTS AND LOTS OF THOSE PLASTIC TIE-CUFFS TODAY.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY.........[beam]

I am sure they will just release any drunk Hispanics as they would not want to be accused of racial profiling.
