I agree that it is a good thing to get the drunks off the road and I wouldn't feel my rights were violated if I drank and then was stopped at a public drive through. They have the DUI stations they set up here every so often and the place they will be and the time is published for a week in advance. And every time they get from 3 to 10 who are to dumb to drive around that block and of course they want to claim their rights were violated. Thank goodness these irrational courts out here upheld that their rights weren't violated as they had a weeks notice that there was going to be a DUI check point there and they were on a public street or road.
Years ago when this state had normal laws, we used to hang out at the A. & W. root beer stands. Every new cop in town had to serve a month at the stand as a paper patrol and general enforcement officer. It served several good purposes. The new cop got the arrogance of I have a badge worn off, it stopped the racing through the parking area, and anyone who was drunk he held and called for a unit to come pick them up. Though back then, if they hadn't done anything but drive in drunk, instead of automatic jail it was normally a fine and take them home and have a friend drive their car.
