Sobriety checkpoint coming to Westmoreland County in July

State police in Greensburg will be on the lookout for intoxicated drivers during the first half of July.

Troopers in the station’s patrol unit will set up a sobriety checkpoint somewhere in Westmoreland County between July 1 and 17, according to a news release.

Authorities did not offer any other details about the location or specific date of the checkpoint.

A 1990 U.S. Supreme Court ruling held that police have to announce checkpoints ahead of time to meet a minimal standard of consent — if drivers know there’s a checkpoint and still drive, they’re effectively acknowledging that they could run into the checkpoint and be stopped.
