Beginning next week, Indiana State Troopers, county sherrifs and state
Conservation Department police will be manning roadblocks in a five county
area: Looking for drunk drivers.

Times and locations of the roadblocks will not be made public (as are radar
locations), and each roadblock will attempt to stop all vehicles that pass
the checkpoint.  Officers will then "check for signs of alcohol in the car
or truck and for behavior that indicates a driver might have been drinking."

Someone driving drunk will undergo a field examination with an "Alco-sensor"
device...and the rest you probably know.

Is this not illegal search and seizure?  Is this not unconstitutional?
