sobriety checkpoints

Sobriety checkpoints are locations set up by law enforcement to stop drivers and check for signs of impairment due to alcohol or drugs. At these checkpoints, officers may ask drivers to show their identification and, in some cases, administer sobriety tests. The purpose is to deter impaired driving and enhance road safety. These checkpoints are usually announced in advance and are conducted in accordance with legal guidelines to ensure they respect drivers' rights while addressing the dangers of driving under the influence.
