DUI Checkpoint refusal |
Cops stopped me and gave a ticket to my boss for not wearing his seatbelt. It was a seatbelt sweep apparently. They said I didnt go to the side of the street for an emergency vehicle but the cop never turned on his lights or his siren. It was just a legal ruse to get me pulled over to give the seatbelt ticket to my boss.

If you drive drunk you deserve to be caught, have your license taken away, and be thrown in jail.
We have a system of rights for other reasons but don't for a moment think you don't deserve everything you get from a moral point of view if you're driving drunk.

Fine. Pull over people driving impaired. But random searches are a completely different animal.
Even if you are driving drunk and swerving all over, you still don't have to talk to the police. You just have to hand over your papers on request, etc..

As much as I hate to agree with Mascara it really is pretty simple.
If checkpoints are a problem for you then you are a problem. Stop drinking and driving you numbskull.
If you are too stupid to follow those instructions than I hope they do set up a checkpoint and arrest your lame ass. Better that than you killing someone.

Wait, wasn't there just a news story about a guy who was acting irrationally and didn't respond to the police? 
Like Tali said, it pretty much depends on the cop. If he's cool, he'll do the right thing. If not, he'll overreact and his partner, union and department will probably cover for him anyway.
Also, keep in mind that the mere act of filming a checkpoint is probably illegal in some states. That alone would get you dragged out of your car, as stupid as it may be.

Under the constitution it is not illegal in any state.
