i have never been through a DUI checkpoint. I have never even seen one.

I've never been through one either HBAR.

Been through a few of them. Also had my van peeked in down in Texas to see if I was smuggling Mexicans. Ain't no big thing as long as you haven't been drinking. They can tell in seconds if you have or not, and they're happy to send you on your way.

Merely recognizing that a motorist is not obliged to cooperate with a police investigation, however, grants the citizen little security given the setting within which the questioning occurs. Understandably, the average motorist will hesitate to invoke this "right not to respond" to police questions and "requests" to perform so-called coordination tests. A late-night confrontation with an armed police officer will normally induce cooperation from all but the boldest citizens whose main concern is to appease the officer and avoid "trouble."


Indeed, the consequences of non-cooperation are undoubtedly understood to be further coercive detention. While this is, unfortunately, not unlikely to occur, it is, nevertheless, often advisable that the motorist insist on invoking his or her rights.

I've been through many of them and always wondered how we ever allowed them in this country.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think exercising your constitutional rights is bullshit!!!

I personally have no issue with DUI checkpoints. They catch drunk drivers and get them off the roads. Too bad there wasn't one up in Grand Lake to catch that drunk before he drove into that family of 8 that was leaving the fireworks show. If I were inclined to drink and then drive then maybe I'd feel differently about DUI checkpoints.

THAT cop was an asshole plan and simple.
Sorry RonDog but you are making assumptions. If you were treated like that I'm sure you would feel different.
The cop has issues and it is plain to see.
I won't support the police when they have guys like that who want to harass someone for driving and minding their own fucking business.
He needs to be fired. They were hoping to find something when he would not be a good little subject.
