Reply to comment by SheeEttin in Mass. State Police to set up sobriety checkpoint starting Thursday in Bristol County by LackingUtility

Sobriety checkpoints only get away with being constitutional if they stop every single vehicle. If cops use any discretion about which car to stop, then it's illegal.

Yep. Technically, random stops work too - every 4th car, or "we flip a coin", or something similar, as long as the cops aren't using their discretion.
