My family has been negatively affected by a drunk driver, but I don't support checkpoints. I had to go through a police checkpoint in Cancun and it was a big hassle.

The laws are getting tougher with the mandatory minimums but I think harsher penalty from the start would work better.

First offense under .15, alcohol assessment, 30 day license suspension, no occupational. Probation until you follow through with recommendations.

Second offense within 10 years, year license suspension, year in jail.

Third offense in 10 years, or second offense over .15, Felony. Felony sentencing guidelines, 5 year license suspension.
