San Diego County is home of the busiest international border crossing in the world according to Politico Magazine and it is no surprise that while 50,000 vehicles and 25,000 pedestrians cross each day there will be a high number of federal criminal cases, approximately 3,500 per year, involving importation of controlled substances, alien smuggling, and bulk cash smuggling to name a few federal crimes says Dan Smith, founder of San Diego Defenders, APC and a former Federal Defender in the early 90’s. There are also a lot of DUI arrests at the San Ysidro POE border crossing that is sent to the court in Chula Vista, CA and right across the street from his office. San Diego County sees over 10,000 DUI arrests each year according to the DMV which makes a DUI charge one of the most common criminal charges we see at San Diego Defenders.
