If you were arrested for driving under the influence after going through a sobriety checkpoint, you must protect your rights by contacting a Denver DUI Attorney immediately.

Colorado periodically sets up roadblocks throughout the state in order to regulate the number of drunk drivers in the state. Such checkpoints, however, are constitutionally valid only if:
They are operated at a fixed point pursuant to guidelines established in advance by supervisory personnel
They are operated for a reasonable period of time
All drivers passing through the checkpoint are briefly stopped and briefly examined for signs of intoxication
The objective and subjective intrusion on law-abiding motorists is minimal
The stops are at least minimally effective in stopping drunk drivers and discouraging others from drinking and driving.
Even a roadblock meeting the above guidelines can stop all drivers without any probable cause or even reasonable suspicion to believe that the driver is engaging in any illegal behavior.
