The Ohio State Highway Patrol is expected to reveal early Friday when and where it will conduct an OVI checkpoint that night.

Troopers announced on Thursday that the sobriety checkpoint will be held somewhere in Mahoning County on Friday evening.

“State Troopers make an average of 25,000 OVI arrests each year in an attempt to combat these dangerous drivers. OVI checkpoints are designed to not only deter impaired driving but to proactively remove these dangerous drivers from our roadways,” said Lieutenant Eric Brown, commander of the Canfield Post.

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 what they considered 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.
