The Ohio State Highway Patrol has revealed the time and location of Friday nights planned OVI checkpoint in Mahoning County.

Troopers, along with local police and members of the OVI Task Force announced that the checkpoint will be held from 10 p.m. until midnight along South Avenue in Boardman.

The checkpoint will also be held in conjunction with nearby saturation patrols to aggressively combat impaired driver-related injury and fatal crashes.

In 1990 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that holding sobriety checkpoints without first notifying drivers would violate the Constitution's provision barring illegal search and seizure.

In their ruling, however, the justices did not spell out what they considered to be an adequate notification.

That same year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published recommended procedures for OVI checkpoints which included notifying the media of the planned roadblocks.
