Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire DUI checkpoints? Your state have them?

Who wouldn't be opposed to such wanton ablation of their rights?

Folks here are acting like only drunks get in wrecks and kill people. Perhaps some education is in order?

Cell phone checkpoints would save more lives

It is because of the .gov using blackmail on the highway money.

Just like the seat belt laws.

Waste of time,like was said check the bars and clubs.
That is where most come from anyway.

What's your point?

My sister was shot in the face, no more guns, period.


Again, reading that is akin to reading some Newtown parents. Lots of emotion, no logic.

As I've said again and again, conservative Yankees are a funny lot. They are what I call liberals.

How about a concealed weapon checkpoint? Make sure people that shouldn't have a concealed weapon don't and that those that do have the proper paperwork.

Ummm.... I think that would be wrong?

Laughin'...

We don't have checkpoints in my rural area, but I often wonder.

Sunday's, we have dinner at my son's in town. He's a beer snob, so he gets some premium micro stuff, and I have a bottle while dinner is being made. Then we eat, and talk a bit.

So, me, my wife, and my daughter are driving home, and I hit a checkpoint, and the officer asks if I've been drinking, do I just say no, considering it was a couple hours ago? Great, I teach my girl that it's ok to lie?

Or I say yes, I had one beer (heard that line enough from the other side of the window), whereas I get to let my daughter witness all the special treatment afforded by "possible cause".

Good times.

Obviously ... at the end of the day, cops are just people doing their job.
Treat them with some measure of respect and they will show you the same respect.

I'll keep that in mind next time I meet somebody in law enforcement.

But that really has not one [bleep] thing to do with the topic at hand.

we don't have them ...but we do have cops that hang out...waiting outside at 2am...at the more popular bars....

In an area that bars outnumber grocery stores 10-1, Yes, we have them all the time.

I like that idea, but I'd say if they check you and you don't have a gun, they should get to kick your azz.

Obamacare checkpoints should be conducted too. Need to make sure folks have insurance.

if only that were the truth!
Bears repeating that drunk drivers are easy to find..post up at any bar at 2am. I just can't get behind stopping every car coming down the way and taking what they can get.

F&G is a rogue agency here�they do as they please.

Exactly. If the checkpoint even gets a hint that you may have had a few (even hours earlier), you're probably going to be field tested.
Got a bum knee? Too bad that walk the line test, or balance on one foot thing may not work so well for you, even though you may be perfectly legal. Your night just got real interesting....

I'm telling my first hand experience through a DUI checkpoint.

Who the [bleep] are you ? The 24CF subject dictator.

You know good and goddammn well who I am.
