People who think DUI check points are anything close to "fascism" or a "police state" are crazy.

There is always a balance between freedom and public safety.  The courts have decided that the DUI check points are such a minimal intrusion on individual rights that they are justified in the name of public safety.  Police are not allowed to search cars without probable cause.

Whining about DUI checkpoints reminds me of the people who whine about being searched before they get on an airplane.  Personally I am happy that they search everyone who gets on an airplane with me.  And I don't have a problem with DUI checkpoints as long as they are conducted properly.

This is where I'm at with this (Did I just agree with Fred?). I work on a Military Base and guess what I must do every morning as I come on Post. It is because, just like driving, it is something I choose to do.
