RE:  Recent article on roadblocks on Indiana Roads
	I remeber having read a U.S. Supreme Court decision ( way back 
around 1970 - when I had a mild interest in law)  that said roadblocks
were not illegal search so long as every car was stopped or something
to that effect.  I remember the dissenting opinion in that case which
siad that the court was treating the drivers as sheep who wont be scared
when stopped in groups but would be when stopped alone!  However that
case I think did not deal with drunken driving but with some other
aspect of motorvehicle safety. 

(I will try to dig up the exact case and if anyone is interested post it later)
