Los Angeles DUI Checkpoints Found to be Legal by California Supreme Court

The California Supreme Court agreed that while Los Angeles DUI checkpoints are legal, even though they stop people without probable cause. The Court ruled that since the California DUI checkpoints are not criminal investigations in themselves, they are simply tool stop or deter drunk drivers.
