More DUI arrests vs. Freedom

This is a continuation of my ongoing rant about the DUI laws. There was this article about increasing the number of DUI checkpoints during the holidays. While catching people drinking and driving is a laudable goal, I still think the Supreme Court got it wrong when they allowed DUI checkpoints. What happened to a "reasonable expectation of privacy" and protection from unreasonable searches under the Fourth Amendment.

I guess I will have to part ways with the Supremes on this. I prefer freedom and constitutional rights to stopping crime through measure such as these. Civil liberties are too important to be overturned to stop a few drunk drivers.

How about we just pull over the people that are swerving a lot ;) OK, I know it is not that easy or funny for people affected by this.
