^ Some people really view any justice process related to alcohol and motor vehicles as morally binary. They take the view that anything that punishs or prevents drinking and driving even in the slightest is worth whatever the consequences and that's it that's all.

Just one drink . . . 'you're impaired'

blow 0.04 . . . . 'you shouldn't even sniff alcohol and drive ever'

Twitter checkstop locations . . . . .'throw them in jail with the DUI criminals too'

My opinion is that I really would prefer to live in a society that champions free speech, even if that means some numbnuts is going to broadcast where the checkstops are and even if some even dumber numbnuts who drives drunk reads the twitter feed and escapes capture. Quite frankly upholding freedom of speech should supplant the 'If banning this twitter feed could just ensure that one drunk driver gets punished then it's worth it' myopic logic.
