Drunk Driving DUI Law

Houston has recieved a unique DUI patrolling vehicle of its own. Although, it is much different than the high tech police car in Arizona. For starters, it is a van known as the ‘Batmobile’. The Batmobile will be used to combat DUI’s in Houston, Texas.

The specialized van acts as a mobile lab that will enable officers to quickly process motorists suspected of drunk driving in Houston. A spokesperson with the Harris County Sheriff’s Department said that instead of taking the suspected drunk drivers to a booking station, the lab will take the legal process to the streets. That will eliminate travel time and speed up the process, allowing officers to return to the streets more quickly.

The vehicle contains breath and blood testing equipment, and even has a small cell for detaining arrestees. There will be electronic links to judges when a warrant is requested for drawing a blood sample to test for alcohol.

Known as the Batmobile, the vehicle was funded by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. It will be placed in service on Halloween night and be available to all area law enforcement officers conducting DUI traffic stops.
