Here, finally some data!
http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Br...275/story.html
2,921 total driving charges in the year.
43 during night-time checkstops in Decembers.
Let's stretch it out to assume that 43 is a typical month, which is not likely as December is probably the highest month. But lets assume. That's 516 checkstop charges in a year. That's only 18% of all charges.
Again, I question the effectiveness in relation to the violation of my liberty. I'd rather have more resources driving around, patroling for drunks (and other problems) than congregatred in an easily avoided stop. Especially now that the stops are public info on twitter.
