Cleveland County Sheriff Joe Lester and his deputies also are taking a zero-tolerance approach to drunken driving.

Any driver who gets behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol or drugs places themselves and others in a dangerous situation, according to a news release from the Sheriff's office.

In the release, Lester strongly discouraged anyone from driving impaired. If a deputy catches someone driving under the influence, that person will be arrested and jailed; no exception, Lester said.

Norman police will conduct sobriety checkpoints in the coming weeks in various parts of the city, all intended to keep the community safe.

“Our goal is to develop a highly visible program that will discourage people who drink from getting behind the wheel,” Easley said in the release.
I think that cracking down on drunk driving is a great idea, but checkpoints...?

I don't know about anyone else, but I get bothered by the Cleveland County Sheriff's Department enough as it is. I've been pulled over by them twice when I wasn't even doing anything wrong. It was late at night, but being out late isn't a crime, is it?

What do you guys think of this?
