We showed the video to Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri. He said try it in Pinellas and you'll be arrested.

"It's about doing the right thing and we are trying to do the right thing to protect the public and keep drunks who kill people off the road," Gualtieri said.

FairDui.org Founder and Author Warren Redlich says the idea is not about protecting the drunks.

"A lot of people are uncomfortable with the idea that police can just stop you for no reason," Redlich said. "If you are not comfortable with that, this is a good way of handling a checkpoint."

Quoted in the article, Tampa DUI attorney says that the method is legal, "but you draw attention to yourself. When you draw attention to yourself, then you'd better be squeaky clean going through because otherwise, you give them another reason to pay attention to you. If you are not squeaky clean, that could be the worst thing that happens to you."
