> necessary evil of DUI checkpoints
WA doesn't have them (against the constitution), and it gets along just fine. In fact with the NHTSA's own data Washington's ratio of traffic fatalities attributed to alcohol is closely inline with states that do have checkpoints. [1]
The evidence simply doesn't show that DUI checkpoints are necessary or effective.
