Anytime you have a dignitary, especially a president, you want to be as safe as possible and make sure he can get from Point A to Point B as fast as he can. |
Be prepared for ice in the morning when temperatures dip down. If you see an 'Icy Road' sign and there's tracks where cars run off the road, that's a clue. |
DUI arrests during the Christmas holiday doubled statewide from last year. We had 1,209 statewide DUI arrests versus 622 in 2004. |
Either people stayed at home and weren't on the roadway or heeded the advice to slow down, especially on the first rain of the year. The oil on the roadway appears especially during the first storm of the year. |
For some people nothing will make a difference. At least (impounding the car) makes them think about what they did. Now they are without their wheels. |
He was in the No. 2 lane and just slid. He was probably going too fast. |
In conjunction with Roseville and Rocklin police departments and the Placer County Sheriff's Department, we'll be looking for parties where parents could be contributing to underage drinking. Some parents think that once you're home it's OK, but the fact is that anyone under the age of 21 cannot consume alcohol and parents can be charged with a misdemeanor. |
It's a great idea, but a hard one to enforce. It does give us another punitive option. Again, for some people it's just not going to make a difference. For others it may make them think twice. |
That area has been very saturated and will have to be shored up after the rainy season. If you live in the area just be careful and anticipate the worst and hope for the best. |
That's double to triple of what we usually have. These guys are working their tails off going call to call to call. |
The guys were just going from one crash to the next crash. We tend to get two to three times more collisions on a wet day than we do on a dry day. |
The idea is by using the headlights, people coming in opposite directions are going to be able to see you better. People that are going north or south, they'll be able to see the traffic that's approaching them and hopefully we'll be able to avoid these head-on collisions we've been investigating so often. |
The officers did the right thing. Boundary lines mean nothing when an officer needs assistance. There's definitely a brotherhood. |
The suspect appeared a bit unstable. As soon as the officer touched the suspect, he started flailing around. |
We do anticipate that the roadways are going to give us some trouble because of the weather. |
