      <![CDATA[It's much easier for police to meet arrest and DUI quotas by setting up unconstitutional "fishing" checkpoints than to actually hunt down and apprehend real criminals who might return fire. And they wonder why we don't respect them.

      <![CDATA[Aside from the fact that checkpoints do not have an effect on fatality DUI accidents, I contend that there isn't possibly a way to have enough "enforcement" with a checkpoint. The problem with trying to ENFORCE DUIs with checkpoints is they only cover one very small spot on thousands of miles of roadway.
