110 111 157 237 | MADD, DUI CHECKPOINTS AND YOU, December 31, 2017


MADD supports the frequent and regular use of highly publicized sobriety checkpoints and other high visibility enforcement programs. Through these activities local law enforcement agencies are able to detect and apprehend alcohol and other drug impaired drivers. Nearly 90% of drivers in California approve of using DUI checkpoints.

Frequent, highly publicized sobriety checkpoints work - in fact, they're among the most effective drunk driving deterrents.

Research shows up to a 20 percent drop in drunk driving deaths, injuries and crashes when checkpoints are conducted.

The primary goal of a checkpoint is not to arrest people. Because they are highly publicized, it is the perceived risk of being caught that keeps many drunk drivers off the roadways.

I was driving home late night a couple days ago. Being as that I was hungry and had not had eaten anything, my appetite was beginning to get the better of my as my stomach began to growl. So, I decided to take another route in hopes to reach my destination a bit quicker. Upon doing so, I reached the main street of Beach Bluebeard and was caught in a Sobriety checkpoint. I had an opportunity to get out of the congested traffic by making a u-turn but for some reason, I do not know why but I stayed put. From 3 lanes to 2, the reflective traffic cones funneled all the cars on the road into a single lane with police officers strafed on the both sides. The checkpoints ran two cars at a time, thus you can imagine how long this may have taken along with the traffic backed up. Upon my turn, a Caucasian police officer in his 40s, dressed in navy blue attire along with a reflective caution vest approached my side of the driver's side. As I lowered my window, the man asked me how my evening was as he casually asked me for my identification. My inner-self shouted out NO, DON'T, but in the essence of saving time in hopes of making my destination to quench my appetite, I complied and handed him my driver's license. It was at this moment I distinctly remember him carefully studying my eyes along with the rest of my facial features to detect any sort of inhibition or anything else possibly. I would be lying if i said I didn't scoff inside at his overall demeanor but he seemed to acknowledge me after I greeted him with a "hi." I suppose, he may have not suspected that for some odd reason, even though he is standing on the street interacting with the public. I was as polite as possible and answered his questions all the while taking flashlight and looked at the identification card. He then looked at me, then back at the card then again at me, then flashed his flashlight to my interior briefly to check for anything he could possibly incriminate me with or fabricate some vague sort of probably cause. Afterwards, he asked me how my day was and I simply replied after a brief pause to think on the question, "not bad." Normally I am polite and would more often than not make conversation, ie. asking the other person how their day was etc. but in this situation, I felt absolutely compelled to minimize the amount of interaction between myself and the police officer conducting the unlawful stopping, questioning of a brief detainment all in the guise of a "sobriety checkpoint." Aftewards, the police officer handed back my driver's license then another officer besides the man (possibly a female cadet) approached me and proceeded to hand me the brochure that you all see now. After it was over, I made my way all the while peering eyes observing me and my car. I then made a u-turn, after going northbound on the street where the traffic checkpoints were being conducted and then past the entire checkpoint area to my destination. I estimate there may have been possibly 20 ~ + officers on duty at the sobriety checkpoint. Just because sobriety checkpoints are highly publicized does not equate to keeping drunk drivers off the road. Perceived risk and realistic conscious actions are two completely different things. Some may argue that the use of sobriety checkpoints as a deterrent is used to prevent drunk driving, but humans will always be making their own choice in terms of action whether direct, indirect and/or influence. Of course not all police officers have "bad intentions," but the ones at the top who makes the decisions that affect the rest of the department, county along with influence for certain motives / agendas, more often than not, will always dictate the course of action. Retrospectively speaking, perhaps subconsciously my disdain for the powers that should not be, along with the minions that perpetuate the abusive and oppressive legal/illegal overstepping, may have influenced me to act the way that I did, minimized contact.

“For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.” - Psalms 125:3

Frequent, highly publicized sobriety checkpoints work - in fact, they're among the most effective drunk driving deterrents. (not always..)

Please drink responsibly if you're going to, obviously.
