Its definitely an interesting conundrum.

I think before we break out the torches and pitchforks it would be helpful to know the actual results of this information. What actions does this information spur?

If people know theres a checkstop will they be more cautious or conservative in their drinking? Will they take a cab instead of risk it? Those would be positive reactions to this information.

Will the heavily intoxicated 'get away' with something? Will this let more drunk drivers avoid the hook? It certainly offers them the opportunity should they choose to use it. These reactions would carry negative consequences.

Who is really going to be the beneficiary of this information?

Checkstops also walk a very fine line, as drivers are being stopped and inspected without having actually committed an infraction. But the Checkstop program is worshipped on the altar of public safety, the greater good, and theres issues with that both ways as well.

This guy, whoever he is, has every right to tweet checkstop locations and he should, and that right should be protected, not legislated against, I'm getting tired of the Granny State. Whether he chooses to exercise his rights in a moral manner is his own dilemma.
