Many states also have laws which require you to submit to testing if law enforcement has probable cause to believe you are DUI. If you don't like the provision, return the license and stop driving.

I disagree with nothing here. The roadblock approach to establishing probable cause still torques my jaws severely. In my area they call them 'safety checks', and drivers are detained randomly. Sometimes they find no impaired drivers, but arrests for no license, weapons, bogus plates, open container, outstanding warrants on other charges,etc are common along with administrative violations like seat belt, insurance and what have you. Violations all, but the mass examination method used reminds me of Central America. And like much of Central America it just smells funny.

At least we don't operate with Peruvian laws. They don't have repeat DUI offenders. The drunk driver is executed at the stop. A tow truck and coroner's van follow up. It doesn't happen too often.

You try walking down an Interstate Highway the cops are going to stop you Fur Shur.
