I once got pulled over because I was using autopilot. And I was stone cold sober. Damn thing just couldn't figure out how to do easy corners on I-5 without ping-ponging. Turns out there was a cop behind me.

Fortunately it was resolved quickly with chuckles all around.

DUI checkpoints

The autopilot doing its habitual random shenanigans that makes it look exactly like a drunk driver is at the wheel

You being asleep at the wheel

&c.

> DUI checkpoints

One of the nice things about living in the PNW is that both Oregon and Washington prohibit such unconstitutional crap.

I'm real glad they have DUI checks outside of night clubs during the weekend here, they bust hundreds of drunk drivers before they get on the roads.

Alcohol is responsible for 30% of road deaths here, 23% due to other drugs. That's a lot of death you can avoid with a 30 seconds spit test

DUI checkpoints are set up to only catch the stupidest of criminals. At least in my neck of the woods, they publish the locations of the checkpoints in advance, and are always on arterial roads, but never state highways or interstates. It's entirely possible to avoid the checkpoints altogether. If you're stupid enough to get wrapped up in one of those, you probably shouldn't be drinking or driving.

Since when have cops needed probable cause?
