DUI Checkpoints, and subsequently Driver License checkpoints, have become a normal occurrence for most states with the help and funding from the federal government. Although Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz ruled in favor of DUI Checkpoints, it is in our humble opinion that you should force a reevaluation of this ruling on the basis of principal. Random checkpoints DO oppose the Fourth Amendment as they do not have probable cause to make contact with the driver. Since the 1990 ruling, countless studies have proven checkpoint's ineffectiveness in dealing with DUI accidents, therefore we can conclude that the seemingly good merit of checkpoints does not justify a removal of our constitutional rights and liberties as U.S. citizens that occurs with said checkpoints
