'No-refusal' DUI checkpoint in place tonight
URBANA – Champaign County law enforcement officials are going to be tightening the screws on potential drunken drivers Friday night.
State's Attorney Julia Rietz said motorists stopped in a roadside safety check in Urbana who refuse to submit to chemical testing will be given an offer they can't refuse:
A search warrant will be laid on them, forcing them to submit to testing, or they face a felony obstruction of justice charge.
This is bullshit.
I am against roadside checks. I am against no-refusal. I'm against drinking and driving, but this is still bullshit.
The roadblock starts at 11 p.m. and runs to 4 a.m. Saturday at an undisclosed location. The difference between other safety checks done by police and this one is that prosecutors and a judge will be standing by.
When you find out where this is happening, let everyone know.
In fact, we should organize a drive by of people who haven't been drinking, to take up the time of the officers.
Since when is just driving down the road probably cause?
