Armed citizens confront Nazi checkpoint in Livermore, California. 4th of July weekend, 2011. Police Departments use checkpoints to perform warrantless searches and steal vehicles from undocumented drivers. Organize against checkpoints in your area! Join Abolish Checkpoints: www.facebook.com *UPDATE* Based on their own statistics, the Livermore PD subjected 1200 drivers to unreasonable searches and only busted TWO drunk drivers at this checkpoint. That means less than 0.17% of those asked “show me your papers” were drinking! Since 11 vehicles were towed, we can conclude that 82% of the vehicles were stolen from undocumented drivers or people with registration issues. We all know the real reason they have these checkpoints. The cities and law enforcement agencies make MILLIONS ($40 million across CA in 2009) from these fascist checkpoints.

If they don’t, people can be wrongfully arrested for Vehicle Code 23152a VC driving under the influence. This is one of the reasons why it is critical to consult with an experienced California DUI defense attorney if you are arrested for a DUI at a sobriety checkpoint. If the cops didn’t follow the correct procedures, it may be possible to get your case dismissed on that basis alone! While the politically correct “stated” purpose of a DUI checkpoint is to deter drunk drivers1, we know better…it’s to arrest drunk drivers. When you approach a sobriety checkpoint, an officer is only supposed to ask you a couple of questions in order to determine quickly whether you display signs of intoxication. The officer will also likely shine a light into your car to see if you have any open containers of alcohol. If the officer believes that you may be impaired, he/she will direct you to an area to perform California DUI field sobriety tests (FSTs). At that point, a typical DUI investigation will ensue.
