Re: Driver License Check Point

I will try to find the ruling, but there was a SCOTUS ruling that said checkpoints were illegal searches UNLESS there was a state law specifically authorizing them and giving the procedures to be used. The checkpoint must also be safety oriented. This is why there was a bill introduced this legislative session to allow DWI checkpoints. A license check like this would be unconstitutional, as I remember the ruling. I will see what i can find on it and look at the actual ruling.
