Seems to me, checkpoints (not for DUI) treat officers like nothing more than tax collectors. As for DUI's, I agree we need to do what we can to keep all safe while on the highways and byways. BUT, in NC, 35% of all traffic fatalities are caused by people under the influence, but that leaves 65% caused by people that just DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE!!!!!! I'm twice as likely to be killed by a sober person! Maybe we could prevent some of those by not passing DL out like flashing K-Mart blue light specials.
