I strongly disapprove of drunk driving, but I also strongly approve of this effort. Police should be pushed back to their proper role in society, which does not include conducting random stops and random searches without probable cause. If the police wish to pull over a drunk driver for a specific offense, that’s different, but the checkpoints I have seen are unconstitutional.

In California they use to have random safety checkpoints (taillights, brake lights, horn, etc.) these were ruled to be a violation of rights.

How is a DUI checkpoint any different (besides the obvious purpose)?
