Migrating to the U.S. in no time??? Where have you been?
We've had random roadside sobriety checks in NJ for decades. I've never encountered one dressed, but I certainly wouldn't worry about it as when I go out dressed I do not drink.

As for the Police State...well, I would much rather have them out there getting the drunks off the road then having them clean me off the tarmac after some drunk T-bones me. They have a job to do simply because people are not grown-up enough to obey the law. They pick and choose which laws they think apply to them and let the rest of us suffer the consequences and the expense of their immaturity. This is evidenced simply by driving on any road, especially the interstates. It's easier to count those that adhere to the law than those that don't.
When we can all respect each other and obey the stipulations that society has agreed upon then the police won't have a job and you won't have to worry about the Police State. Until then, don't drink and drive, slow down and obey the speed limits and let them do what they get paid to do.
