if you are driving in a strange fashion then I think it would be reasonable to test for sobriety. I think the opposite is true if the police or others stop people at "random". That is probably going to be inconsistently done and amounts to unreasonable search and seizure IMO. I think the search is reasonable if you are driving like an idiot.

Like I argued above, if this is really about profit then the thing to do is to have a large number of sober people refuse the sobriety check point and force them to spend the money performing a blood alcohol test.

The basic logic is this.

I shouldn't be stopped and given a field sobriety test without reasonable suspicion.



The Ben Franklin quote nailed it.
