LISBON, Ohio - The Lisbon Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol has announced that troopers will operate an OVI checkpoint in Columbiana County on Saturday.
The patrol says a specific time and location for the checkpoint will be announced on Saturday.
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.
However, in their ruling, the justices did not specify adequate notification.
That same year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published recommended procedures for OVI checkpoints, including notifying the media of the planned roadblocks.
