i still use this thing? pia 1

The original article I found was whether or not DUI roadblocks were abiding within the terms of the Constitution. It corresponds with the last chapter we had just read which was chapter two. It is similar how the founding fathers did not want to grant too much power or control to the government. It also pertains to the fourth chapter which we have yet to read. Chapter four covers the Fourth Amendment which guarantees there are to be no unlawful search and seizures and fairness of trials. These can all be argued this article as a government issue. These sobriety checkpoints can be considered an invasion of privacy and argued that it is illegally unfair judgment being assumed without actually having probable cause-which is the only thing that grants an officer to intrude without having a search warrant. The case of Sitz vs. Michigan fought back and freed a man who had been in the same situation and plead there was a violation of his Constitutional rights. I have since then found another article that brings to the public’s attention that some officers carry discrete devices that test for alcohol in the breath-an easy way to catch anyone under 21 drinking where their level only has to be .01%. Pens, flash lights, etc carry the hidden devices. Officers are suppose to ask to administer such tests or ask for permission to search cars or locked areas of a car so this can without a doubt be seen as unconstitutional in many perspectives. On the other hand, officers are there to serve and protect; does this not prevent as well any possible accidents or tragedies before they happen? If you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to hide being the law abiding citizen you are. It is argued that the end justifies the means. If you can turn a blind eye to the slight violation and see the bigger picture, it does a greater deal to allow this. We are all affected under this, and there are many sides to argue and technical details that can arise that change the scenario. We find it insulting, we find it a loss of freedom, and at the same time many find it a blessing and a great public service. As of now, the stance on this issue is still in limbo and under much review.
