    i hear you it is terrible and I know folks who have had lives ruined by drunk driving, I also know tho that say I am driving totally sober then go thru a checkpoint and they catch me on some minor issue and give me a ticket. I hate shit like that. Say a guy is a murderer and then tho cops investigate his apartment without a warrant and find the evidence that they can find him guilty with, well I want it thrown out as inadmissable and him to be free since it was found illegally, I would rather have murderers run free than for all of our freedoms taken away, tough choice but we have these rights for a reason, cuz in the past shit has gone down.

    I agree. If it's supposed to be a dui checkpoint, that should be all they are checking. It shouldn't be a carte blanc to investigate a whole roster of other stuff.

    and unless it's a friday or saturday night I think drunk driving will be less prevalent and they do it just to catch people on the ticky tack stuff, to make money for their municipality.

    One good thing about rise of uber and lyft is I think drunk driving will be way down. Taxis always cost too much to be viable
