May police operating sobriety checkpoint stop every car?
A: Yes, if the pre-approved operational plan permits it, and the plan is followed. If the plan calls for stopping every car, the officers can stop every car.
Sobriety checkpoints do not violate the Fourth Amendment so long as they are conducted in accordance with a plan that does not give the officers operating it "unfettered discretion" in deciding which vehicles to stop.
