Sobriety Stops Slow Drivers but Speed Up DUI Arrests

I don’t want the police to think I’ve done something wrong, but several times in recent years I just don’t have time for the traffic checks. Can I turn around without fear of getting interrogated? According to Cmdr. John Crombach, drivers have every right to turn around when they see a DUI checkpoint ahead. But beware, officers also have every right to question someone avoiding the checkpoint. “The law said you have to provide the motorist a way out, so we post signs as far as 1,000 feet from the checkpoint, and there is a left turn that allows the motorist to go around,” Crombach said.
