You’re right. So thank God for checkpoints.

Lots of people still breathing because of ‘em.

Actually, checkpoints prove the opposite. What’s happening the other six days plus without a checkpoint in place.

If cops really wanted to target drunk drivers they’d set up outside of bars and liquor stores.

Checkpoints are invasive wastes of time designed to generate revenue, not stop DWI.

How about we try:

1. Enforcing existing laws when a crime is committed.
2. Leaving the rest of us alone otherwise.
3. Leave your precious checkpoints for Iraq and North Korea.

Checkpoints won’t guarantee anybody’s safety. Nothing on this earth can guarantee safety. Only God can guarantee your safety, and most times he won’t either. So good luck and leave the State out of playing God.
