At first glance it seems that the number of DUI arrests year over year for this holiday weekend is way down. However, it is difficult to compare because this year's 4th of July fell on a Friday, where last years fell on a Wednesday. It also rained in certain parts of AZ, and it was not a full moon.
All kidding aside, it is interesting that the highway safety office has not yet (on the record) claimed that the lower numbers of arrests this year are attributable to the new tougher Arizona DUI laws that are in effect now.
Quoted from 306 DUI arrests in Ariz. during holiday Arizona state officials say that officers from multiple law enforcement agencies made 306 DUI arrests during the Fourth of July weekend. The Governor's Office of Highway Safety says the total included 86 arrests for extreme DUI, that is people who have a blood-alcohol level of .15 or above. People are considered intoxicated in Arizona when their blood-alcohol level is .08 or above. Source: feeds.feedburner.com
