Theyre trying to get DUI checkpoints passed here in WA.... seems like bullshit. ... I thought cops werent supposed to be able to just stop and essentially check you for wrongdoing without probable cause.....
along come DUI check points... oh, you look intoxicated, out of the car sir.....
It can depend on how they're handled.
DUICP's used to be quite common in my state years ago, but I was only ever stopped once. Two cops came up to my window, looked at my DL and insurance card, talked to me for less than a minute, then thanked me and let me go one it was obvious I was sober. I suspect they were employing the use of breathalyzer-equipped flashlights, too.
They had other people driving between cones; some were outside of their cars performing other tricks that many sober people would find challenging...but, I didn't have to do any of that.
