California DUI Checkpoints & Roadblocks

A DUI checkpoint is a tool used by California law enforcement in order to catch drunk drivers in the act and discourage others from driving under the influence. By setting up a checkpoint or a roadblock, officers stop drivers and determine whether they may be driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These checkpoints, while sometimes effective in catching intoxicated drivers, are also questionable in regards to their possible infringement on the constitutional rights of drivers who are stopped.

Constitutional Rights and DUI Checkpoints

In the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Americans are guarded against illegal and unreasonable search and seizure. DUI checkpoints walk a thin line between a valid and legal effort to stop drunk driving and a violation of your 4th Amendment rights.  

Stopped at a DUI checkpoint and arrested for driving under the influence? Be sure to consult a skilled DUI defense lawyer immediately. By working with a lawyer early on, your constitutional rights can be protected and your DUI case can come to a positive conclusion.
