I don’t see this as anything new, nor do I see it purely as a revenue enhancer. I remember being stopped at the only sobriety checkpoint I have been through twenty years ago - and there was no way out of it. It was around 2 a.m. in NJ, route 202, and other than losing 10 minutes or so of my life, it was totally unoffensive. And it was totally about DUI. We did have our seat belts on.
This will end badly. There are people out there with extreme needle phobia who would resist with lethal force any such attempt. They will die but so might some checkpoint personnel.
'No refusal' is a recent development, essentially made of whole cloth by the police. Who are they to make that call?

Most states have a provision in the law that an alternate route must be provided. Naturally, the police will be happy to play cat and mouse by watching for and pursuing anyone exercising a few last scraps of freedom by using such an alternate.
In addition, most checkpoints did not stop and inspect every vehicle and they certainly had nothing to do with seatbelts (another thumb-screw law originally sold under the rubric of safety).
It was totally unoffensive.
Words fail.
I believe you are at the wrong site. Here at FR we value our constitutional inalienable rights.
Rest easy in your yoke.
