DUI checkpoints should never have passed Constitutional muster in the first place.

“DUI checkpoints should never have passed Constitutional muster in the first place.”

Who gives a crap?

They are the “law of the land”, “If you don’t like the law, then change it”, “Move to Iraq”, “If you don’t have anything to hide...”, “drunk drivers kill(insert # here) people every year.”, “It’s for the children”

Blaa, blaa, blaa.

I find it interesting that Supreme Court justices who are chauffeured everywhere in DC saw fit to overrule drivers’ rights.

I couldn't agree more. When I do find myself in a checkpoint, I always remind the cop that he's violating my Constitutional rights.
Some will reply the the Supreme Court says it's legal - to which I always respond - like the Dred Scott decision? The looks on black cops' faces are always the best.

I believe in the same session that the Supreme Court found DUI checkpoints to be Constitutional they found that flag burning was a Constitutionally protected form of free speech.

So next time you get stopped at one of these checkpoints, step out of the vehicle and set fire to Old Glory. You’ll tie our entire Federal Court system in knots for the next 13 years as they figure out what to do with you.

Yep, infringe on the rights of the majority in an attempt to catch the minority. Ain’t freedom great?
