Is driving a car a right or a priviledge?
Sobriety checkpoints may violate your right to unreasonable search and seizure, what is the probable cause? The flip side is that you may surrender that right in order to operate on a public roadway.

The fact that someone is on a road does not constitute reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed, resulting in a lawful detainment.
“Am I being detained on reasonable suspicion, officer? If so, what is the reasonable suspicion? If not, am I free to go?”

IMO, a right subject to only those restrictions which would protect others from bad driving on your part. IE, no tie-in with grades, child support, or anything else unrelated to safety of others on the road. And none of this sanctimonious "driving is a privilege" crap they always spew when you catch them doing something they shouldn't.
Now that's a little off topic because this is about DUI, which actually does relate to driving safety, but I think roadblocks for whatever reason, absent some probable cause or at least reasonable suspicion, are an improper intrusion on our rights and privacy.
