Honolulu police arresting sober drivers to rack up DUI arrests, ACLU alleges

The Honolulu Police Department said it will review all impaired driving arrests after the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging officers are arresting sober drivers in an overzealous focus on making drunk-driving arrests.

In recent years, Honolulu officers have arrested "scores" of drivers who show no outward signs of impairment, perform well on field sobriety tests and whose breath tests often show no alcohol, the lawsuit said.

The department is driven by a "singular focus" on getting arrests for driving under the influence, even if they don't result in convictions, the ACLU said.
