I guess I'm just not sure what the big deal is with 3.2%, since its weakass shite.
No, it violates my rights as a person
yes, they are clearly constitutional

So Michigan places caps on the alcohol level in beers that stores are allowed to sell? That's what I was asking you about earlier when I said "ridiculous caps."

I'm still confused. Does Michigan have legislation relating to 3.2 or does it not?

Bullshit.
First, this isn't about privacy, it is about unreasonable search and seizure. Previous cases have upheld that stopping a person on public roads and highways without the justification of reasonable suspicion constitutes unreasonable seizure. Whether you are stopped your legal activities by a roving patrol car, or at a checkpoint, you are involuntarily stopped from your legal activity. That is seizure of person, regardless of how brief that seizure may be.
Even SCOTUS acknowledges that the 4th Amendment applies to any type of random stops, which includes checkpoints. But, according to them now, it doesn't apply enough.
What their decisions says (and I still can't think about this without getting seriously pissed off) is the violation is "minimal" and therefore, in "balancing the needs of the state" then the state takes precedence.
This is quite possibly one of the most dangerous precedents in allowing government to do whatever the hell it wants to do, because the "balance" of the "intrusion on rights" is subjugated to the "needs of the state" because those needs "take precedence"
Utter totalitarian nonsense, no matter what the good intentions may be.

That's OK. It's not like I keep up on Michigan law.
But the old 3.2 law was a pain in the ass - I had to go to a friggin liquor store to buy Guinness. Now it's in the grocers, alongside the popular crap. So is wine. But hard stuff (anything distilled) is still relegated to licensed liquor distributors, which kinda sucks. And, with Montana being 3rd worst state for per-capita highway accidents involving alcohol, I do not anticipate seeing our laws loosening any more for a long time to come.
But (each to his own) I'll take our mountains, low population density (our largest "city" barely tops 100K), local politics of keeping government at minimum, where even many of our democrats classify as conservative (including Governor Schweitzer), and many other aspects of Montana, over being able to find Jack Daniels at the grocer.
You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic!
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Driving is NOT a right. It is a privilege. In NM when we sign for our license, there is a statement above your signature that tells you that by signing your license you are willing to abide by NM's implied consent law. That law says that when you are stopped for DWI or at a check point your consent, as a licensed driver, to a breath test is implied. If you refuse, then you will be charged with aggravated DWI which carries stricter penalties and mandatory minimums.
