You know what would be an even better use of public funds? Placing a cop outside of bars and watching for obviously drunk patrons getting behind the wheel as they leave, stopping them, and calling them a cab.
Gotta be careful about this one though.

Some states allow them to bust your for DUI based on your "intent" to drive.

I had a friend in Alaska go out to his buddy's car to get something out of it. His buddy was the designated driver and had given him the keys to open the car. Friend made the error of opening the driver's side door to get what he needed out of the console. Cop busted him and it stuck in court.

Another case to illustrate how retarded it is.

When I was stationed at Fort Knox, a Captain went to watch the Bengals. When the game was over, he realized he'd had too much to drink so rather than drive, he decided to sleep it off. It was cold, so he got in the car, turned on the heat and fell asleep.

Cop showed up to his window, blammo, that Captain got a DUI cause apparently, being behind the wheel is all it takes. I guess they should rename it cause "DRIVING" under the influence isn't apparently required.

Point is, if I'm not drunk I shouldn't be stopped and questioned.

Torn on this issue..I get the rights part but anyone that drinks and drives I hope you get 50 years in prison because you're imposing on my rights to notdie from your negligence/stupidity/selfishness.

I am a libertarian and I think DUI checkpoints are 100% constitutional and legal

They are public roads therefore you have to comply with the rules to use them.

In all seriousness unless you're so shitfaced that you're slurring your words you should be fine. Just pop some gum in your mouth, roll down your window, answer their question(s), and be on your way.

The only people these things catch are the ones who are too stupid to get away with it.

Damn near every time their are 20 plus cops working.


I came up on a check point in Lafayette about 3 months ago. It was like midnight, and there was at least 20 cops standing there doing nothing but laughing. I was the only car in the line. What a waste.
