Fittingly, the judge who made this ruling got a DWI 10 or so years ago.

I'm not sure I understand the logic of the law, though. Why can't that supervisor take part in the checkpoint? What does it violate?

My guess would be the supervisor could possibly take a very liberal stance with what constitutes being drunk since he picked the spot. He might feel he has to nab a certain number of people to justify putting it in that spot.

either way it shouldn't be that hard to follow the rules. Brpd just ignores the rules for no reason other than acting above the law.

In March 2001, Johnson was arrested for first-offense DWI, but a Baton Rouge City Court judge acquitted him later that year.

In May 2003, Johnson was cited for misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run, failure to maintain control of a motor vehicle and driving without proof of insurance. His court date was scheduled for July 1. A witness at the scene indicated Johnson smelled strongly of beer, but Johnson did not take a breath test to prove or disprove this claim.
