The show will air on December 1, 2011 on TLC, and will be a similar format to COPS, but will focus exclusively on suspects arrested for Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However, unlike COPS, the show will also follow the suspects through the legal system, and will show the personal consequences of their decision to drink and drive for each individual. Twelve episodes of the show have been produced, with the first six episodes to air in December 2011 and the next six to follow in 2012.[1][2]
The show was shot in Oklahoma in Pontotoc, Cleveland, Sequoyah, Tulsa and Oklahoma counties, and features local sheriff's deputies from those counties, as well as Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers. The show's producers said that Oklahoma was chosen for a shooting location because the state has one of the fastest DUI turnarounds in court, as well as some of the strictest DUI laws in the United States.[3]
