Wtf???!!!!

They had one of these DUI stops on Federal and 84th ish Friday night/Saturday morning of this last week. We were on our way home from a friends birthday party. My wife and 3 of her drunken friend's were with me eating McDonalds in the passenger and back seats. When I stopped, they had a couple cars pulled over with the drivers outside them doing stupid human tricks.
I was asked if I had been drinking, I said "no sir, that is illegal". He sent me on my way. First one of these I have seen or been in here in Colorado. In AZ it was pretty common.

They used to set up checkpoints in Boulder pretty often.....I remember heading to a pow-wow in the mountains in my beater, beer and whiskey on board and thinking "great, I'm going to get tossed since I'm in a beater ass car". Nope, waved me right through.....did notice a large amount of high-end cars being pulled over though -does that count as discrimination, since they were purposely picking out people who looked like they could afford to drink in Boulder (And NO, as the driver I was NOT drinking - I don't mess around with my livelihood -Now everyone else on board though may or may not have been)

Thanks for the knowledgeable replies to this subject. I never realized that military personnel were commonplace at a checkpoint. Makes sense if they are in a locale where Mil personnel are common. I was always under the impression that Mil at a civilian LE action was illegal.

I have only had to deal with 2 checkpoints. One was at 56ish and Federal and they just waved me through and the second was 120th and Pecos. The officer waved me over and asked if I had been drinking at all and I replied that I do not drink, he stuck his head in the truck and got right in my face whiffing for alcohol. He was an AssHat and pretty rude. Glad I didn't accidentally hit the window button
I drove on but I did notice in both instances cruisers on just about every side street just waiting for those that tried to duck the checkpoint.

That is EXACTLY the location of the one I drove through last month.

They do that? Next time I'll be sure to cough directly into his face.

Been through 2 checkpoints in my life one was after a 16 hour shift I reeked of diesel fuel and know i looked like absolute hell. Got pulled from the car did the sobriety tests barely passed them the officer was not convinced until i offered to blow or do a blood test finally let me go. the other one I was the DD had 3 drunk buddies in my car 2 just home from Iraq. Told him I had not been drinking and will blow or blood test to prove it. I explained what was going on 5 minutes in and out.
