DUI roadblocks and checkpoints occur frequently in Massachusetts and throughout the country, but studies suggest that checkpoints are less efficient than having police cars on random patrol. Often, Massachusetts OUI roadblock cases make difficult cases for the Commonwealth, because there is generally no evidence of unsafe, poor or dangerous driving, but exclusive reliance on field sobriety testing and the officer's subjective opinion.
Supports of DUI checkpoints like Mothers Against Drunk Driving argue that increasing arrest is not the goal of checkpoints, but awareness of the dangers of drunk driving and deterring motorist driving under the influence.
