All Los Angeles County Police Departments and Sheriff's Departments have a zero-tolerance policy and will take decisive action to arrest people for DUI. Likewise,
Los Angeles County Courthouses make every effort to heavily penalize individuals arrested for drunk driving. According to statistics, there are over 40,000 DUI arrests made and over 300 people killed by DUI every year in Los Angeles County. Nearly 8,000 DUI arrests were made in the city of Los Angeles alone.
California DUI Penalties
The penalties received depend on the specific details of the DUI case. However, individuals convicted of a misdemeanor or felony DUI in Los Angeles County could face severe penalties, including:
- County jail or state prison time
- Large fines
- Probation
- Driver license suspension or revocation
