The problem is that it's not just a drunk checkpoint. We had one of those in my small unincorporated town a couple of months ago, and it was a full-on, shine-the-light-all-over-the-inside-of-the-car, where-are-you-headed, let-me-see-your-papers civil rights violation. If you want to stop drunk driving, park outside the bar and snag the drunks who can't find the keyhole with both hands. Don't make me wait 5 minutes in line so you can examine every light bulb on my car and find a way to write me another revenue collection slip.
