I would think that if it was unconstitutional the court system would have made it illegal to do so. In fact, the supreme court, does say the checkpoints are reasonable. Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz, 496 U.S. 444 (1990), was a United States Supreme Court case involving the constitutionality of police sobriety checkpoints. By a vote of 6-3, the Court held that these checkpoints met the Fourth Amendment standard of "reasonable search and seizure." Just because you think it is infringing on your rights, doesn't mean it is. It's your opinion. I am glad you resorted to negative comments, that just shows me the level of your education.

Not really, If your not drunk, what does a DUI checkpoint matter? A couple of minutes of your time? I think it is well worth it if it helps save a few lives. I go through a checkpoint maybe once a year if that at all. It is hardly an inconvenience. Also, putting all caps does not make me understand better. View Comment
Yes, Keeping drunk or distracted drivers off the road is a complete waste of tax dollars. Great point. You would think otherwise if your family was killed in a violent wreck because of one. Better to be proactive than reactive on things like this. View Comment
