Uh, no. The jackboots on the scene should be the primary targets.
Cut off the head and the snake will die. The jackboots won't be likely to act without orders.
Tennessee did he same thing for the Memorial Day holiday. Here is a link to the checkpoints
for the Labor Day holiday.

This can’t be happening. The Polizei must be carpetbaggers...

Checking your blood sugar next?
Any methods that are allowed to catch drunk drivers will be used for other reasons. The problem with allowing authorities to over-reach for certain crimes is they branch out to other areas. Remember SWAT teams in the beginning were used only in very serious situations; bank robberies in progress with hostages, very dangerous people holed up with hostages or in an area where other people were in immediate danger. I don’t remember anyone objecting to SWAT teams when they were first used. Now in many areas SWAT is not only used routinely for drug raids but to serve warrants as well. There is not always a clear reason to use SWAT but it is used anyway. Methods to catch drunk drivers will also be used for other reasons.
By the way does anyone know if there is any restriction in this law to keep them from immediately using it for other reasons? Can they run the DNA and data bank it as well? Are they going to be able to do this any time they do a traffic stop or is this specific to DUI checkpoints? I would want a lot of questions answered before I would consider supporting this.
Travel options are lessening. So much for Nazi-Tennessee.
They need to be hit too, but it's much harder to identify the target when they aren't the one standing there forcing some citizen to give his blood in a blatant violation of his rights. If you reduce the life expectancy of jackboots, there will be less folks wanting to play nazi.
Don't get into Travis county. They have the "No Refusal blood-draw on every holiday weekend.

These are like something out of a science fiction movie.
