East Hampton Town police reported a single alcohol-related arrest last week.

On Saturday night, officers stopped a northbound 2011 Dodge Ram driven by Greg Weinstein of Montauk, 57, later reporting that the driver had failed to signal a turn from Springs-Fireplace Road to Queen’s Lane, then made an abrupt U-turn in the intersection and gone back onto Springs-Fireplace Road. Mr. Weinstein performed poorly on field sobriety tests, police said.

He was charged with first-offense driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and with a second misdemeanor after a breathalyzer test showed him to have a high percentage of alcohol in his blood.

They Know When You've Been Bad or Good

East Hampton Village is now home to 14 Flock license plate reader surveillance cameras, which amounts to one for every 108 full-time residents, if you go by the 2020 census data. They're heralded by local police for aiding in enforcement and investigations, but they use a technology that has proven controversial nationally with those concerned about civil liberties.
