“Studies have found sobriety checkpoints reduce alcohol-related crashes because they create awareness about the risk of arrest. “
Interesting statement. I always thought they were about catching drunk drivers. Apparently the real reason to to enforce the notion that we live in a police state.

I’d say the real reason is neither. The real reason is to pump up the public coffers with money from drinkers. The mad mothers got their way, but .08 is too strict, and checkpoints should be illegal.
This is enough to get me to buy a blackberry type phone so I can get twitter. I’m not a big drinker, but also not a fan of being stopped because I may have done something.
I’ll drink to that!
