democracy101 discovered 7 months ago- From the page: "Tens of thousands of innocent Americans are stopped each month at police checkpoints that treat every driver as a criminal. These checkpoints, supposedly started to target drunk drivers, have expanded to give police more intrusive power over citizens in many areas."

- From the page: "Drunk-driving checkpoints epitomize the modern law-enforcement mentality ā€" that it is more important to be politically visible and impose costs on private, law-abiding citizens than to actually solve the problem ā€" as if annoying the public is more important than protecting them."

- i agreed with this page on the whole, but this quote really put me off. the overwhelming number of victims in alcohol is not the driver, but either the passengers in their own vehicle or the people in the other vehicle involved. ] From the page: "Furthermore, most of these deaths are not tragic killings¯.... The overwhelming majority of alcohol-related deaths are the drunken drivers and their drunken passengers. (These folks may be accused of suicide, but generally not homicide.) Even less reported is the fact that approximately 10 percent of these reported fatalities are drunken pedestrians hit by non-drinking drivers ā€" weak support for tough laws aimed at drivers."
