It's the month of love.

But getting a DUI will ruin the mood. They cost nearly $16,000 in fines, towing, court costs and legal fees, the AAA of Southern California says. You won't have much left over for that overpriced, prix fixe meal Feb. 14.

So here's your warning, kids: Local cops are going to do their best to cool off your February with a series of checkpoints and patrols this weekend. Locations include party hot spot Hollywood and hipster haven Silver Lake. And we have the deets:
