Reply to comment by Whole-Wishbone-7539 in Sobriety Checkpoint by Gemnicherry

I think because we live within 100 miles of a border (two-thirds of the United State’s population does) we forfeit our fourth amendment rights.

I’m not exactly sure on the particulars although I do know about it, maybe someone that knows more about it can chime in.

Technically the checkpoints are unconstitutional as they fall into the category of unreasonable search and seizure w/o probable cause, but apparently the Supreme Court decided to leave it up to the states for whatever reason.
