Well, the information from Wikipedia is part of the public record of the US Supreme court, feel free to check it yourself if you don’t believe it. As is the info from NHTSA ( I checked both, and the info is correct).
I have looked over your posts and do not see any questions in them. If you are asking me if it is acceptable for Police to ticket someone for something they see wrong during a DUI checkpoint stop, then my answer is no they should not. It’s obvious you disagree, and that’s fine. I posted some factual information, as well as my own personal opinion. The fact that the checkpoints violate the 4th amendment is not my opinion, it is a fact that was admitted by the chief justice who OK’d it. You feel it’s OK because it is for “the greater good”. I do not. Difference of opinion, not an argument.
As to your contention that my tune would change if I or someone i loved got smashed by a drunk diver, well you are incorrect. I lost someone very close to me 18 years ago because of a drunk driver.
Drunk drivers are a bad thing. Catching them is a good thing. I think we agree on that. I just don’t think that these checkpoints are a very effective way to do that.
