Apparently the cops thought that tonight would be a good night to have one. I seriously hate them. So I turn around and go the other way home, to find that my licence plate is expired. Glad I turned around.
Anybody else have any stories about those? |

I've always avoided them. My friend's mom is the mayor of my town, so I usually know when there's going to be one and where it is.

I have never heard of them. Do they just stop and check everybody?

They check the license plate, drivers license, and inspection. |

My friend Tim and I went to a concert one time, and got stopped at a DUI checkpoint on the way home. They sort of situated the checkpoint around a turn so you couldn't have time to turn around and had to drive through it. As such, there was no time to get your papers ready to show the cops. I was sitting in the passenger's seat, and I had been drinking, so I was having trouble trying to find Tim's insurance card in his glove box. I literally spent five minutes rooting through the glove box, Tim was started to get frustrated, and the cop was getting ticked off at me. He began to lecture Tim about the cleanliness of his glove box as I finally found the thing.
Not that great of a story...guess you kind of had to be there. |

Why avoid them? If I'm driving I'm sober and my car is legal. If you're driving drunk, you're just plain dumb, and I honestly hope you're caught.

That's why the cops around here put them in places that you don't see them coming, so drunk drivers don't have advance warning to take a side street. It only applied to my story because I didn't see ahead of time to look for Tim's proof of insurance card. Edited by Shub - 28 July 2007 at 12:51am |

How? They check if you're drunk, and check your cars legality, etc. Oh no, you lose 3 precious minutes on your way to 7-11 or home or whatever. I'd way rather have a checkstop keeping someone who could drift over the line into another car, or who may have passengers, whatever off the road. I'm fine with a small hassle, and heck I'm more than willing to do a breathalyzer and have in the past. I know if I'm in the wrong or not and have no qualms with co-operating to help them out and let me be on my way. |

I avoid them if I can. Any alcohol gets you a DUI if you're underage, I can blow a .01 and go directly to jail that night, lose my license for six months(again) pay thousands in fines etc. If I have literally one or two beers.
Even if I haven't been drinking, I'm a college student, they're going to be dissapointed if they don't find anything to cite me for, I'm sure I have a misplaced registration sticker or a my muffler sounds funny. If not I'm sure a cop can just tear my windshield wiper again and tell me it's defective. Anything to avoid having to deal with law enforcement is a great thing for me. I'm sure I'm violating some sort of law or regulation without knowing it. |
