Texas bill would allow drunk driving checkpoints
Texas lawmakers are considering becoming the 40th state to allow state troopers to set up checkpoints to search for drunk drivers. Opponents say the roadblocks typically are ineffective and pose serious breaches of privacy. In 2007, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found 30,000 people were hurt in drunk driving incidents in Texas, while another 1,292 were killed, more than in any other state.
