CITY OF LAS CRUCES v. BETANCOURT

No. 9585.

735 P.2d 1161 (1987)

105 N.M. 655

CITY OF LAS CRUCES, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Elizabeth BETANCOURT, and Henry J. Baca, Defendants-Appellants.

Court of Appeals of New Mexico.

Certiorari Denied April 9, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ben A. Longwill, Asst. City Atty., Las Cruces, for plaintiff-appellee.

Angel L. Saenz, Las Cruces, for defendants-appellants.

OPINION

GARCIA, Judge.

Defendants appeal the trial court's denial of their motions to suppress evidence. The two issues raised in this case are: 1) whether police roadblocks set up for the purpose of detecting and apprehending drunk drivers are constitutionally permissible in New Mexico; and, 2) if so, whether the particular roadblock operated by the Las Cruces police was constitutional as set up and operated. We affirm as to both defendants.
