Money is also available to crime laboratories conducting forensic toxicology testing. Funding for the grants comes from a tax on the cultivation and sale of cannabis and cannabis products sold in California.

“These grant funds go beyond impaired driving enforcement efforts. Money will be used to support education, training, and outreach in communities throughout California,” said CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray.

“This is an opportunity to work with various traffic safety stakeholders to help make California’s roadways safer for all who use them.”

Thirty recipients of law enforcement grants will use funds to address impaired driving within their communities. In addition to traditional impaired driving enforcement, funds will also be used for drug recognition evaluator training to enhance their respective agency’s ability to detect impaired drivers.

Additionally, funding will allow for public outreach campaigns, including educational presentations and community events.

When two warning devices fail at the same time, a man is in trouble.

Morris D. Rouble of Los Angeles, cited for driving 70 miles an hour in a 60-mile zone, told Judge Ben Yeakey that is what happened to him.

His car is equipped with a special mechanical warning buzzer that was supposed to sound when the vehicle reached 65 miles an hour. He later discovered several youngsters had reset the buzzer to sound at around 110 miles.

But Rouble conceded this mechanical failure was “no excuse”.

“As a safeguard, I should have relied on my wife,” he said. “But how could I be expected to realize they both would be silent at the same time?”

Bail was set at $7.
