Then you are a ****ing moron.

Do you think your Aunt feels the same way as you? Why don't you tell her your views and see if she agrees with you.

Thanks for your insults. Yes her, as well as the rest of my family are still against checkpoints.

DUI checkpoints at best are 2% effective. My family realizes that and while upset a family member was killed by a drunk driver, they are smart enough to realize checkpoints are useless.

What if the driver that killed your uncle would have been part of the 2% (completely bullshit number pulled out of your bullshit ass by the way)?

A 2009 University of Maryland study found that checkpoints don't have "any impact on public perceptions, driver behaviors or alcohol-related crashes, police citations for impaired driving and public perceptions of alcohol-impaired driving risk."

County police should employ roving - or saturation - patrols in which officers patrol the roadways for dangerous drivers. State Supreme Court cases from both Pennsylvania and New Hampshire revealed that roving patrols caught 10 times more drunken drivers than checkpoints.

According to the FBI, "It is proven that saturation efforts will bring more DUI arrests than sobriety checkpoints."

According to the Governor's Highway Safety Office in Columbus -- the group that doles out federal money in the form of state grants to ''sobriety task forces'' in 10 counties -- 117,858 drivers have gone through ''sobriety checkpoints'' in Ohio since last October.

That's one driver for every 65 licensed drivers in the state. And that doesn't include checkpoints run by the Ohio State Highway Patrol or local agencies.

Of those 117,858 drivers the equivalent of 51/2 sell-out crowds at Quicken Loans Arena only 485 were arrested for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol (OVI).

Even if every one of those 485 people was found guilty which was not the case that's a drunk-catching success rate of less than one-half of 1 percent.

Far more people were caught driving under suspension (611) and driving without a license (507). The highest total by far was for ''other citations,'' which included seat-belt violations. That number was 1,277.

Jesus your a ****ing idiot. What percentage of drivers on the road do you think are drunk drivers? I hope there aren't more than 1 or 2 drivers out of a hundred that are drunk. I measure success rate as the number of drunk drivers that pull into a checkpoint that are actually caught at the checkpoint vs. the number that get through the checkpoint without being detected.

You're spouting nothing but bullshit and you're calling others idiots? The next intelligent thing you post in this thread will be your first. Try to get this into that lump of shit you call a brain: you had told someone that they were making up the 2% rate

What if the driver that killed your uncle would have been part of the 2% (completely bullshit number pulled out of your bullshit ass by the way)?

so I cited to an article which noted an even lower rate, and pointed to people talking about the lack of success with the DUI checkpoints in comparison to the saturation patrols.

And I asked you what percentage of drivers on the road do you think are drunk drivers? DUI checkpoints will never catch more than that percentage. Saturation patrols have a better percentage because they aren't stationary, are harder to avoid, and they don't stop every driver on the road. Pull your head out of your ass. It's not a ****ing hat.
