I have no problem with the police setting up a dragnet to apprehend fugitives. I do have a problem with such checkpoints being a regular part of daily American life. If you really want to combat drunk driving, recruit more patrol and motorcycle police. The best way to spot drunk drivers is to be in traffing observing how people are driving.

Do you remember when mandatory seat-belt laws were being debated, it was asserted that no one would ever be pulled over for not wearing a seat-belt. It was to be only a secondary offense or fine on top of whatever traffic violation you were pulled over for. How soon we forget.

Exactly. Soon, every road will have them. We'll find searches routine and people will accept it. Nobody seems to want to raise a stink about how people are treated at airports these days. It's all incremental.

Then the War on Drugs is a just cause, as long as they have a procedure for detecting smugglers, dealers and users.

Thanks.
