[QUOTE="Allen, post: 248351, member: 389"] Good, while I understand the public benefit from having fewer drunks behind the wheel, I have always maintained that they violate the spirit of the Constitution. Checkpoints are for communists and nazis. We have a good number of LEO's in my area that will absolutely pull you over for anything dangling from your rearview mirror, snow on your license plate (no shit, saw that just a couple weeks ago), dim (but not out) headlight, taillight, or whatever lightbulb, or doing 16 in a 15. Law enforcement should have a valid reason for pulling someone over in America. Yeah, they may all be against the letter of the law but I call them conversation starters.

Point being, the LEOs staffing the checkpoints tend to be extras for the evening. Perhaps one of our LEO members can clear that up for me if I'm mistaken. [/QUOTE]
