yes, it's clear that they do save lives. maybe you should say "i'm not certain" instead of "it's not clear". and also maybe grow up some common sense.

- doktrin 13y ago> Could you link the study that you have in mind? Why do you feel a study is needed in order to form an opinion on this? What logical arguments would you make against sobriety checkpoints? In any case, turns out that at least one study has been performed. This was just the first google search hit. There's probably more out there. [1] http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/impaired_driving/checkpoint.html http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/impaired_driving/check...

But this data obviously doesn't account for a lot of variables. http://www.scpr.org/news/2014/01/06/41411/california-drunk-driving-fatalities-inch-up-after/ http://www.scpr.org/news/2014/01/06/41411/california-drunk-d...

- jcromartie 13y agoMaybe I should have. BTW my "common sense" says that sobriety checkpoints DO reduce drunk driving and fatal accidents. I'm not any kind of DUI checkpoint denier.
