Chicago DUI attorney is pleasantly surprised that some states still follow the Constitution

This Chicago DUI attorney recently posted about an upcoming DUI roadblock in the city. Can you believe that in some states, that roadblock is illegal?


From WKBT.com:

That's because as of July 1st new drunk driving law changes will become significantly stricter.

Wisconsin is still the only state where a first OWI isn't always a crime.

If there's a minor in the car Brian Barton, Deputy District Attorney for La Crosse County says, "that now becomes a crime instead of a civil forfeiture."

It took 5 OWI's before a drunk driver was charged with a felony, now that number is four.

But, those trying to eliminate drunk driving didn't get everything they were hoping for.

It will still be illegal for officers to set up roadside sobriety checkpoints.

Wow! Looks like Wisconsin still believes that the intrusion into a citizen’s privacy does not overcome the desire for the government to poke around to catch you doing something wrong, whether it’s a DUI or not having proof of insurance on you.,
