That's yur 4th ammendment at work right there.

Kind of looks like border checkpoints, doesn't it?

What country is this "Tail of the Dragon" in? Russia? Germany?

If it makes the roads safer for me and my family, then I say go for it.

I can't imagine it taking that many police officers for one sobriety check point. I bet to a criminal it would be a good time elsewhere if they are all busy in the one spot.

I have no sympathy for drinking and driving. Too many of my friends killed either as victims or the drunk. But this is excessive.

Actually here I think they have to now. I have been through a few of these on the way back from some of the lakes on the weekends. Not sure why they would ask if you have a US drivers license. I think people knowing they are apt to get checked may keep some off the roads.

If a person is pulled over for reason by a cop I don't care and they don't have some ID especially a valid license if they are driving they should checked out and if they are illegal they should be dealt with according to the laws.
