A sobriety checkpoint that was scheduled to take place in Mahoning County Friday night has been canceled.

According to a news release, the checkpoint was canceled due to staffing issues. The checkpoint will be rescheduled for a later date, but that date has not been determined yet.

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.
