Georgia state troopers, along with county and municipal police agencies will enforce "Operation Zero Tolerance" on Georgia's roads this July 4th weekend.
Motorists traveling in Georgia during the July 4th holiday weekend can expect to see extra state troopers on the highways. They might also run into a checkpoint.
Colonel Bill Hitchens, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Safety, said all available troopers will be on the roads during the holiday travel weekend.
Hitchens said officers will not hesitate to arrest an impaired driver and tow their vehicle. From the campaign's web page:
"If you’re caught driving with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) at or over the illegal limit of 0.08, you will be arrested. Operation Zero Tolerance means you never receive just a warning or citation. In Georgia, if you’re Over the Limit, you’re Under Arrest. First time violators go to jail."Click here for more GPB News coverage about Georgia highways and roads issues.
