DUI checkpoints  

Definición

  • Although DUI (driving under the influence) checkpoints have been challenged on Fourth Amendment grounds because police do not possess probable cause or reasonable suspicion to seize and search each vehicle for evidence of an intoxicated driver, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the government's interest in protecting the public from intoxicated drivers outweighs whatever minimal subjective intrusions the driver might experience. While the Court reached this conclusion in its first sobriety checkpoint case, Michigan Department of Police v. Sitz (1990), a string of Court precedents set the stage for its decision.
