No. Not with checkpoints that screen all people regardless of any evidence of a crime.

I get that it is legal for the cops to do it but it is in direct conflict with people being secure in their person and effects.

The police should only be allowed to stop you or anyone if they witness you doing something illegal or that would reasonably cause a person to suspect you of a crime.

In the case of DUI, the driver canโ€™t maintain speed or position inside their lane, or they repeatedly break hard, or improper use of lights and signals, failure to fully stop ๐Ÿ›‘, etc.

So many things are sufficient to trigger a stop, it is unreasonable to check everyone proactively.

This guy gets it. DUI checkpoints are a presumption of guilt.
