200+ people were killed last year in WA state from drunk drivers. If it saves 1 life it's worth it...BUT...

I agree DUI laws should be made more strict by our legislature before they enact this check-point crap. In some states where they have the check-points they use the narrowing field system where they setup cones to the point where it's obvious who shouldn't be driving and wave everyone else through. Some states stop every other driver, some every third.

But you know dayum well what they'll do here. They will have 10 guys running plates looking for warrants, priors and tickets while 3 guys do random checks for seat belts, cell phone use and equipment checks racking up fines. They were talking to the WA state patrol cheif yesterday on the radio and they plan to get a warrant each time they set up one of these check points so they can pretty much do as they wish. He said they only plan to target DUI but when asked if they were going to be looking for other things, he just said if they see something obvious they would handle it. He said they were only going to do "problem" areas. LOL

But what the hell, one jack off leaving a bar gets on his cell phone and that check point is empty for the evening. Go figure.

Gregoire is brilliant!
