Halloween is one of the biggest evenings for drunk driving offenses.
If you choose to drive drunk, the United States Park Police would love to meet you!
We will offer you several hours of interesting conversation, introduction to some high tech devices such as breath testing equipment, some fascinating reading material including copies of citations, notices to appear in court, and driver’s license suspension forms, and of course conversation that will include discussions about how your future driving expenses will increase.
If you desire to stay with us for longer than our normal processing times, we can expand your experience by helping you pick a new wardrobe including such cutting edge fashions as orange jumpsuits, no belts, and shoes with no laces.
Our officers are very nice people, but you probably would not like to meet them under these conditions.
If you drive drunk and are arrested, you will face enormous fines, legal bills, possible jail time, sky high insurance premiums, and huge amounts of time in court.
That’s if you manage not to crash your car.
If you crash your car, add in the high cost of body and fender shop work.
If you crash your car and injure or kill someone, you will go to jail. You might lose everything you own or may own in the future.
Most importantly, you will live with the knowledge that you have destroyed many lives, your life, the life of the one you hurt or killed, and the family, friends, and co workers of that victim.
It can be avoided.
If you drink too much, get a sober friend or family member to bring you home. If you need, you can get a free taxi ride home in the Washington, DC area. To get a free ride home, call 1-800-200-TAXI (8294) or ATT Wireless customers dial #TAXI. This is a service provided by the Washington Regional Alcohol Program. They have details at www.wrap.org.
