Who is going to perform the monthly maintenance on the Intoximeter that is placed into a bar? Who is going to secure the Intoximeter that is places in the bar so that it isn’t damaged? Who is going to provide the personnel that is going to test the people in the bar (this includes wages for multiple people as they have to have days off, benefits...etc)? You must be Jake Day. Just like his bull crap Folk Festival, he failed to see the associated problems and costs. Your “simple solution” fails to address costs and issues. Just spout off a stupid comment and hope it gets people fired up...it’s the Democratic way.

With fines, and legal fees, it could go up to 10,000 dollars in the state coffers.<br /><br /> I also agree with all those above who say it is unconstitutional. Just by the fact they are stopping you, they are infringing upon you rights. Kind of like East Germany in 1968, show me your papers! <br /><br />Revenue in the same of safety. They can spin this all they want but in the end, it is not for your benefit.<br /><br />There is an old saying that is still true: The road to hell is paved with good intentions!

I'm not saying what they are doing doesn't save lives or get drunks off the road, but DUI checkpoints are wrong. Just because they give you the location of the checkpoints doesn't all of sudden make it OK to temporarily detain innocent people without any probable cause whatsoever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-67565032854863248592018-07-10T13:08:17.017-04:002018-07-10T13:08:17.017-04:00I think that I'll drink a few shots and chase ...I think that I'll drink a few shots and chase it with a six pack.

These officers are trying to save lives, maybe even one of your family members who may innocently be a casualty of a drunk driver. How can you justify driving under the influence by saying it is unconstitutional? The public has been warned as to when and where these checkpoints will be. If they disregard the warning so be it. This would be no different than receiving a warning for a tail light out and it is disregarded and not fixed. Should you get stopped again and get a summons, is that unconstitutional also?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-35779336100811887642018-07-10T09:19:58.533-04:002018-07-10T09:19:58.533-04:00Speak for yourself.Speak for yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-82708010231871690332018-07-10T08:37:39.212-04:002018-07-10T08:37:39.212-04:00This is actually unconstitutional but you all let ...This is actually unconstitutional but you all let it go on for so long it become the "norm" and then the politician sneakily try or do pass laws to help protect the cops in doing this... Without probable cause to suspect someone is under the influence, they have no right under no law to stop you to see if you have been drinking... This would be no different than a cop sitting on your front porch waiting for you to break the law, or having a cop with a dog go up and down your road until they catch you doing something, anything...
