I was safe to drive as evaluated by a police officer
Holy shite, I'm a cop and this is bull shite.

If you're doing something that causes you to drive so recklessly that people just assume you're impaired you probably shouldn't do that thing behind the wheel.
If it's past midnight, you really don't have to be doing much of shite to get pulled over for drunk driving suspicion. I've been pulled over for completely bogus reasons before and then let go. They are fishing at that hour.

Yup. I don't drink (maybe once or twice a year), but I always go to the gym late at night. Most of the time I'm not leaving until almost 1. On the weekends, I get pulled over a good bit until the cops remember my vehicle. Now, whenever there is a checkpoint, they usually just wave me on through.

I've never experienced a DWI checkpoint. I guess it's because I've been lucky.
Now I have been pulled over before and been drunk. I was 19 and coming back home to Shreveport from Biloxi on leave. I drove a Toyota Tacoma at the time, and I had two fellow airmen with me. We stopped off in Breaux Bridge and got a case of Heinikens and proceeded to slam them down. My female passenger couldn't really hold her liquor so she laid down in the bed of my truck and covered herself up with a blanket. I had just finished my 8th one and we were just outside of Natchitoches, when we got lit up by a state trooper. I immediately had my passenger start hiding all the evidence, and I start chomping down Rolaids like they are candy. I had been speeding (85 in a 70) so the trooper does his usual "you know how fast you were going" bit and I say yessir and all. He asks to see my license and I show it to him along with my military ID and orders showing that I am on leave. Well his attitude clearly changes as he apparently was an AF veteran himself (SP). He's about to send me on my way when all of a sudden, my female passenger bolts upright in the back of my truck and starts screaming. The trooper draws his pistol and I'm thinking Oh God this sumbitch is going to shoot us! She then sees the trooper with his gun drawn and puts her hands up and says "ImsorryImsorryImsorry!" Apparently she had been asleep the whole time and had been having a nightmare and had just woken up. The trooper, now irate, then said "get the hell out of here, and slow it down", holstered his pistol, and let us go.
It was then that I decided that I would never, ever drink and drive again. I just do all of my serious drinking at the house.

Me and some of the other neighbors have formed a volunteer group that works hand in hand with local law enforcement to stop and check drivers within the four walls of our neighborhood if we suspect drunk driving. We have cart blanch to stop anyone we suspect during our shifts on the weekends when he have our sheriff issued windbreaker on.
Wait, wait, wait...explain this one to me. You are claiming you, private citizens, have been afforded "carte blanche" by your local police department to don police gear and use it to represent yourselves as authorities and stop any private citizen from free travel simply based on your arbitrary, non-delineated suspicions?
What neighborhood in what city is this exactly?

No one on here would argue for someone getting behind the wheel when they are tanked. In stories like yours the driver is typically well over the limit. Those people deserve to see the inside of a jail cell.
The problem is that checkpoints often bust people that were pacing themselves with a few beers over several hours and were driving just fine. The officer determines that they are at the legal limit and sends them straight to jail where it then costs them thousands of dollars and many hours of time for driving in a state that is often proved to still be safer than driving while being drowsy, texting, talking on the phone, or being elderly. Yes, some of those things are still illegal, but they don't come with the same levels of fines or public shaming.
Again, I don't think a truly drunk person needs to get behind the wheel. However a BAC of 0.08 effects everyone differently, and it is therefore an arbitrary cutoff. Use a little discretion and put people like this in a cab and not the drunk tank.

This has all the makings of headline news when it doesn't end well for you.

Best part is my SO was riding with me and she was actually trashed, but the cop let her drive you car to follow us on our little breathalyzer hunt across BR
I was riding with my buddy when he got pulled over on a military base. He had been drinking and I was trashed. He got a DUI and the cops told me I could drive his truck back to the barracks. I looked at them for a second and started laughing... then I turned around and started walking.
I know those mfers knew I was wasted but they were ready to hand me the keys. I guess they thought they had a 2 for 1 deal.

We aare not representing ourselves as police. Our wind breakers have the name of the citizens safety group and sponsored by sheriff office. We only have blinking lights and siren and flashlights. We are on the sheriffs CB radio circuit and call for backup if the person appears too drunk. We don't have the power to arrest or even give sobriety tests. We pull them over and ask a few questions.
Most people are OK and the sherif doesn't have to come. We have snagged a few severely drunk people and also teens on golf carts.

Got stopped at a DUI checkpoint on Jefferson (right in front of Towne Center).
I had not been drinking. Officer asks me if I know what time it is. I look down at the clock in my truck and tell him it's 1:19.
He asks me if I had been drinking along with a couple other questions. Then he asks me again what time it is, but without looking at my clock this time. I tell him it's been about a minute since the last time he asked me, so probably 1:20.
He is about to let me go, when some young looking rookie blurts out "Hey! His inspection sticker is expired!". So goofy looking Mayberry cop child writes me up.
So I get a ticket for an inspired inspection sticker....at a DUI checkpoint...$150.
