LAPD's DUI crackdowns are usually predictable, focusing on the usual areas of Hollywood, Koreatown, downtown, South L.A. and certain parts of the Valley. 

For the first time in months the department is setting up on the Westside, … albeit in a black neighborhood. (Do white people drink and drive too?)
