I have mixed feelings about these types of "traps" set up by law enforcement. What reasonable suspicion or probable cause do they have to stop you, me, and everyone else traveling down a particular roadway? How does this hold up in court? I guess you do get a few drunk idiots who actually submit to the sobriety tests and fail.

I just don't feel like I need to navigate a slalom course of cones then let some 20 year old cop inspect my eyeballs at 10 o'clock at night to "save" us and the children from the drunks.

"Michigan state police vs. Sitz," Justice Rehnquist even admitted the checkpoints violate 4th amendment rights but they still ruled in favor. Stevens said the net effects are questionable at best.

The woman who founded MADD has even said she thinks some LEOs have taken this crusade too far.
