Sobriety checkpoints set up along racial lines in Chicago

[mucifer]

A Tribune investigation found that in Chicago, 84 percent of roadside sobriety checkpoints were scheduled in areas populated mostly by minorities while roadways in areas with more DUI-related crashes that are predominantly white are checked less often, or not at all.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

1. I can hear the argument now..."that's why there are fewer DUI crashes in minority areas."

It's working!!!!

2. I have lived in Chicago for almost eight years

I have never once seen a sobriety checkpoint.

To be fair, I'm not out much at night, and when I do go out at night, I rarely drive. But still. Not once.

3. About yen years ago at North and Cicero.

They just waived me through.

Much more common in the suburbs.
