Have a Close look at DUI Fatality Statistics »
The numbers of deaths on the highways caused by drunk drivers has justified the "DUI crackdown", along with the loss of constitutional rights. As it has been said by the U.S. Supreme Court in Michigan v. Sitz, for instance, DUI "sobriety checkpoints" seems to be violating our Fourth Amendment right to be free of suspicion less stops by the police but this illegal intrusion on our privacy is "outweighed" by the "carnage" on our highways of 25,000 deaths that occur due to drunk driving each year.
What is the source of these statistics? Several years ago, the statistics that had been kept on traffic fatalities by law enforcement agencies included a category for "alcohol-caused" deaths. However, these statistics were subtly changed to "alcohol-related" in order to justify such things as sobriety checkpoints, lowered blood alcohol levels and automatic at-the-scene DUI license suspensions. Here you must note that they changed it to “DUI related", but not “DUI caused”.
