    All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

    It would also appear to me (IANACL) that checkpoints violate the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.

    Nice try dude.

    The Tenth specifically states that the gov can't do stuff like this if it's not in the constitution.

    The Ninth says that just because they didn't say "you can use public roads without conditions", you still can do so.

    The Fourteenth (like it or hate it) extended these restrictions to the States as well.

    I don't drive drunk. I don't even drink if I'm driving. BUT.... I'd want an app like this, simply to avoid the inevitable traffic jam that it creates.

    Not to mention the fact that "proving my innocence" goes against everything I was ever taught that this country stands for. Of course, I *did* go to school back in the '60s and '70s.

    "The Doctor's Wife" is perhaps one of the best episodes I've ever seen. It completely eclipses anything that had David Tennant in it. The script and the acting.

    What about "Midnight"?
