The use of safety checkpoints can provide an important component of an effective enforcement system designed to raise the perceived probability of apprehension for DWI. Drivers may believe that they stand little chance of being detected if they drive after drinking too much. They may believe that the police will not notice them or that they can drive carefully enough not to attract suspicion if they are noticed. But roadblocks, or safety checkpoints, counter this belief because the potential of a drunk driver being detected is increased. This may deter others from driving while under the influence. The use of safety checkpoints raises a number of legal issues related to drivers' constitutional rights, which are discussed in the document.
