the few times I've been through a checkpoint it took all of a minute, of course that's probably because I don't drink and drive. rolled up, cop asked if I was having a good evening, told him yup on my way home from work or wherever I was. he said drive safe and I was on the way.
on a side note, I have never deen a DUI checkpoint in the morning on my way to work. IIRC each one was after 10 pm. I also don't know of anyone who conducts job interviews, or doctor offices open that late.
now all of that being said, I don't think they are constitutional. and I don't feel I have to kiss ass to survive a police encounter. I'm respectful to them just as I am to anyone else I encounter in my daily goings-on. because the reality is until things change, this is part of the world we live in. being a dick back won't change anything.
Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.
