A Washington State Trooper recently handed me the attached pamphlet to let me know that there is a new DUI emphasis squad on the road called Target Zero. An emphasis squad is not new to Snohomish County.  We have had a specialized DUI crew called the Nighttime Emphasis Enforcement Team (NEET) for almost two years. The DUI officers were 5 to 6 Troopers who did nothing but patrol during the normal DUI hours (late night – early morning) and arrested people who they suspected were driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties will now have the federally funded “Target Zero” teams on the road. They are, as they advertise, “100 percent dedicated to getting impaired drivers off Washington roadways.”

What does this mean to you? Well, let’s start with the obvious. Don’t drink and drive. Target Zero strongly suggests getting 100 percent of the drivers off of the road who have ANY alcohol or ANY drugs or ANY medications in their system.

Second, if you are arrested for suspicion of DUI (alcohol, drugs or medications), hire a King County WA dui attorney or Snohomish County WA dui attorney who is 100 percent dedicated to DUI defense to protect your rights.

Consider yourself warned.
