A recent story in the Everett Herald (Snohomish County) highlighted the new
way the State Patrol intends on catching DUI drivers. The story focused on
DUI detection from airplanes. Interesting indeed!
As Trooper Keith Leary stated: "It allows us to get DUIs we might not get.
It can literally mean the difference between someone living or dying that
night."
When Trooper Speckmaier sees an erratic driver, he follows the vehicle,
radioing its location until a trooper can catch up.
"He's able to give very accurate info to troopers on the ground," Rudeen
said. "He basically walks us over there."
The plane's high-tech video camera starts recording the vehicle. The video
footage can be used to build probable cause for the trooper or to buttress
cases in court.
