Oregon tried 'em for a while, then they got tossed. Not sure why...maybe "probable cause"? Seems to me casting such a wide net would be illegal, but I'm no lawyer. I do know there was a lawsuit. A lady with MS caught at such a checkpoint, wasn't able to "walk the line" or whatever the test was...they took her to jail, towed her car...then finally decided to have her blow the tube. D-oh...no blood alchohol reading. This case could have been a factor in the checkpoints being halted.
