Check out "drunk driving checkpoint refusal" or some keywords like that on YouTube. It is videos of sober people video recording while refusing to submit to the cops. Really nerve wracking to watch but the cops let most of them pass through. Seems nuttier than driving into one drunk.

I have different views on it. Now, most of them force them to undergo sobriety test in case you try to say no or DUI charges are slapped on you. My cousin works with a DUI lawyer and he told me all of this. That zip lock doesn’t work anymore.

I actually hope they tell me to get out so I can show off how good a straight line I can walk.   They've never asked :(

hi all, thanks so much for the heads up, i have gone through them a couple times in the past couple years, they have been on the corner of 41 and 49 in the front of the mikey D's, and yes i was coming down from shuteye going to the ranch in oahurst and rolled past it talked to the officer telling him "have not drank a drip"!, lucky for me i only had a couple after climbing and did not smell like beer, they set up there on memorial weekend, 4th  of july weekend, and laborday weekend, thanks again, happy climbing mike a.
