DUI check points dont even make you swerve to catch the eye of a cop. they literally engage you for zero reason, and slam you for something that might happen. as in you might have a wreck later tonight, which might result in an injury.. it, like everything else, is just revenue generation.
one beer an hour will already put you over the limit. average cost of a dui is roughly $10k.. every single person that leaves a bar on any given night is over the limit. if they are concerned about safety, put a cop right there everyday. they arent. they post a car on heavy traffic nights or something once in awhile, and they basically get their pick of whoever is leaving that night...
