There is no correlation between the use of sobriety checkpoints and reduction in DUI fatalities. In fact, fatalities were bottoming out when checkpoints were declared (barely) constitutional and began to see widespread use. They have accomplished nothing.

Whether or not I have had a friend or relative killed by a drunk driver is completely irrelevant. All that matters is the numbers.
The DUI checkpoints are a scam for cops to get easy overtime.
