Just today in the the local Milwaukee newspaper Governor Doyle reiterated his position that roadblocks are good for the public. Mothers Against Drunk Driving has been an advocate for these roadblocks for years and sees nothing wrong with stopping innocent people and detaining them, searching their bodies, and then releasing them.
The United States Supreme Court has ratified these checkpoints in Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz (1990). The argument goes that the infringement of liberty is insufficient enough to outweigh the public's interest in getting drunk drivers off the road.
The reason I find this all rather scary is that recently in the State of Wisconsin our own courts have found the main instrument of these stops that dictates whether or not the police will detain you further, the preliminary breath test device has been deemed wholly inaccurate and unacceptable for use at trial.
No I am not making this up.
