dui checkpoint
Good ideas gone way-bad
Police set up a random DUI checkpoint for New Year's at the only parking-lot exit from an all-night festival, to keep drunks off the road. But that meant that the line to get out was hours-long. The tally: 31 drunk, 956 sober. The Mercury (Hobart, Australia)

If they stopped 31 drunk drivers I think it was a success. Besides, when has an all night festival with thousands of people ever had a fast and orderly exit plan?

I agree with Matt on this one. 31 fewer drunks on the road is worth the hours in line (although it may not seem like it to the one in line).
