Sobriety Checkpoints Upheld

OK, so driving drunk is bad. Mothers Against Drunk Driving and others have correctly increased our social awareness and laws are being more strictly enforced. Now, the Supreme Court says the Fourth Amendment to the Bill of Rights should be interpreted to read that citizens are only protected against “unreasonable searches and seizures” that are too intrusive. Are we completely giving up on the concept of “probable cause?” If our government continues to weigh “for the greater good” over the danger of any evil, can we expect to give up even more rights? This thinking is dangerous. What’s next?
