It is amazing to me the amount of Drunk Driving Checkpoints that happen in the US There is an awful lot of taxpayer money that is tossed at these police agencies, for what in my view, is an unconstitutional act. Chief Justice Rehnquist voted the checkpoints Constitutional…kind of. It’s ok for "minimal intrusion on individual liberties” for the need and effectiveness.
Well they are effective. They have decreased drunk driving fatalities from 0.24% in 1991 to .000014% in 2007.
That is amazing. Violate the Constitution for twenty four one hundredths of one percent! Say that percentage out loud and tell me you are cool with them forking millions and millions into this every year.
Or, put it this way: would you fork over millions of dollars for a less than 1/4 of 1% return on your money, year after year?
We truly live in an amazing country.
Along the same lines...thank God I don’t live in this town. Talk about strict, considering the John Adams Quote in a letter to his wife: “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”
God Bless the US, no really…Please bring us back to sanity.
