DUI checkpoints are cash cows for cities and their crony businessnes

I was under the impression that they had requirements (a mention of requirements is made [strike]below[/strike]above) such as to essentially offer a way to turn away from the checkpoint and avoid it - this was the only way for it to be "constitutional"

I could be mistaken

In California, yes, and the guidelines are laid out in the decision Ingersoll v. Palmer. In Nevada, no.

But, if I'm not mistaken, I'm not surprised to hear that many police are in violation of the court-mandated requirements either ignorantly or intentionally.

In my case the cop who organizes the grant funding testified he set up the roadblock properly, without specifics. Then I got the cop car dash cam video which shows the roadblock wasn't set up legally. In the retrial, the same cop again testified he set up the roadblock properly, despite video evidence to contrary.
