He details how to avoid a ticket, and what to do if you get pulled over.

About Drunk Driving Checkpoints

Speaking with the York Regional Police about drunk driving checkpoints.

Favourite line:

These checkpoints can pop up anytime of day, even 7am, because if the good times bleed into 2am, five hours later you’re still smashed.

That, and that there’s no breathalyzer on the end of the flashlight. The officers are doing it all via good old fashioned pattern recognition.
