KICK ASS!
The City of Indianapolis lost in the Supreme Court.
For those of you who don't know, the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled that a random pull-over (no probable cause) and drug search of your car is a violation of the 4th amendment.
The majority opinion was written by Sandra Day O'Connor, who claims this does not affect drunk-driving check roadblocks.
Frankly, I think that's a violation of the 4th amendment too, no matter how bad driving drunk is. If you see someone driving impaired, call the cops! I know it's old fashioned of me, but I still think that probable cause is really important and that no matter how well-meaning drunk checks are, they are a violation of your 4th amendment rights.
