All is Vanity See other All is Vanity Articles Title: Want to visit Arizona in January a heads up Can't beat AZ in January temps in the 70's and a lot of fun things to do Super-Bowl Phoenix Open and Barrett Jackson car auction to name a few for those who are planning a visit a few tips Don't drink and drive road blocks everywhere after dark 2,300 DUI arrests in Arizona since November The Associated Press Authorities participating in a statewide holiday drunken-driving task force say they've now made more than 2,300 DUI arrests since the effort began last month.On Friday alone, 182 drivers were booked on drunken-driving charges.The Governor's Office of Highway Safety coordinates the effort, which involves saturation patrols, DUI checkpoints and youth alcohol enforcement using officers from dozens of law-enforcement agencies. Authorities have stopped more than 32,000 drivers and issued more than 9,500 citations for driving offenses besides DUI.Under a new state law, DUI offenders face a minimum 10-day jail term, fines and license suspensions and must install an ignition-interlock device in their vehicles.The task force continues through New Year's Day. When driving be aware speeding cameras are everywhere After an independent study showed just how big a difference speed-enforcement cameras made on Loop 101, Gov. Janet Napolitano asked the city to turn them back on. The state is now running the program and taking it statewide through radar-equipped vans. Flying into Phoenix is easy getting out could be a problem Passengers Behavior Leads To Airport Arrests December 20, 2007 Federal aviation officers with special training helped Phoenix police arrest three men at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport earlier this month.“The Screening Passengers by Observation Techniques program allows the Transportation Security Administration to concentrate on finding people that may be a threat to aviation instead of only dangerous items,” said TSA spokesman Nico Melendez. “We are proud of the work our Behavior Detection Officers do, both in Phoenix and in airports around the country,” he added.TSA officers get four days of classroom instruction, 24 hours of on-the-job- training and mentoring. Plus, each year, officers must be re-certified, Melendez said. The TSA’s goal is to detect uncontrolled physical responses and body language that could point to suspicious behavior. Outside of that I hope you enjoy your visit and get to leave in one piece
