Answer:

This is what I got

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that your constitutional rights still apply in a roadblock situation. Though police are permitted to stop you briefly, they may not search you or your car unless they have probable cause that you're under the influence or you agree to the search

Answer:

When you are first stopped at a DUI checkpoint, the officer does not have a right to search your vehicle. He or she does have the right to look in your vehicle and may use anything that is clearly visible as probable cause to arrest you or initiate a search. If you are arrested at a DUI checkpoint, the officer may also search your vehicle.
