Are
Sobriety Checkpoints Legal?
The U.S. Supreme Court in 1990 (Michigan
v. Sitz) upheld the constitutionality
of sobriety checkpoints. The Court held
that the interest in reducing alcohol-impaired
driving was sufficient to justify the
brief intrusion of a sobriety checkpoint.
If conducted properly, sobriety checkpoints
do not constitute illegal search and
seizure in most states.
