This is a state issue, and unfortunately the feds have pried their way into it causing problems within our state. Feds need to quit taking away highway funds if states do no conduct check point, and MADD needs to back down. Check points do not net nearly as many drunk drivers as stepping up patrols around holidays and dispersing enforcement throughout municipalities. Quit worrying about who is drinking, buying alcohol, and where they are doing it. Focus on drunk driving and spread the police presence through the city...concentrated enforcement in predictable locations (WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH BRIDGE), especially in this day when everyone has a cell phone, is no effective way to prevent people from drinking and driving.
