DUI checkpoints may occasionally catch a drunk driver, but they are far more likely to be abused by poorly trained, corrupt police. It is an extremely poor use of law enforcement resources and by and large, it is a pain in the arse for the 99.9% sober drivers that are legally traveling public roads.
Agreed. They need to get rid of checkpoints and make DUI way harsher. 1 year mandatory prison time for the first offense, 5 years if you cause an accident or an injury, and lifetime suspension of your license would stop 90%+ of DUIs.

agree with this, for the most part ... dui laws, esp for a 2nd one or in case of injury or accident, should result in some serious jail time and money fine ...

People are so funny. If you're going to do the above then they need to figure out some sort of tiers on the whole BAC cause some states right now are at .08.
Let's be blunt here. It's a virtual certainty that more than half the drivers over 55 have lost more of their reaction time from when they were 25 than a 25 year old has when he's .08.
I think it's actually somewhat simple to reduce DUIs without going all draconian. Make the 1st offense of a mandatory "fine" of installing a breath device on ALL cars in your household in order for you to start them(and any new car you buy in a given time frame).
For those who say, "but they'll just get someone else to blow", really? I mean, I suppose that may happen VERY occasionally, but sheesh.
