Thats what Im talkin bout.

It was in jest. Lawyers make too much money from DUI's to fight against them.

Hey did you know that lite beer is not the only kind of beer. I've just opened a bottle of Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA, a decidedly not lite beer. And what's a Kardashian?

Sobriety Checkpoint Laws

December 2014

Sobriety checkpoints (also called DUI checkpoints) are locations where law enforcment officers are stationed to check drivers for signs of intoxication and impairment. Many jurisdictions utilize sobriety checkpoints as part of their larger drunk driving deterrance program.

Due to legal issues surrounding their use, not all states conduct sobriety checkpoints. Some states have laws authorizing their use. Others forbid them or are silent on the issue.



States with no explicit statutory authority may or may not conduct checkpoints. In many states, the judiciary has stepped in to uphold or restrict sobriety checkpoints based on interpretation of state or federal Constitutions.
##38 states, the District of Columbia, the Northern Mariana Islands and the Virgin Islands conduct sobriety checkpoints.
##In 12 states, sobriety checkpoints are not conducted. Some states prohibit them by state law or Constitution (or interpretation of state law or Constitution). Texas prohibits them based on the its interpretation of the U.S. Constitution.

Sobriety checkpoints are prohibited in Texas.

That does not mean that sobriety cannot be called into question incident to being checked at a checkpoint with a stated mission unrelated to sobriety.
