Sometimes, It's The State Supreme Court That Is Stupid
Courtesy of 
BISMARCK, N.D. — A judge has thrown out a Bismarck drunken driving case because the driver did not have the option of turning around at a checkpoint.
Brett Ehli was arrested in September during a checkpoint run by the North Dakota Highway Patrol. Ehli was charged with drunken driving and possession of contraband.
Drivers are pulled over at a checkpoint — and Judge Burt Riskedahl said the patrol did not run the operation correctly.
A North Dakota Supreme Court ruling says checkpoints have to be set up to let drivers avoid getting stopped without violating traffic laws.
In Ehli's case, the judge said the only way he could avoid getting stopped was to break another traffic law.
Highway Patrol Captain Mark Bethke said the ruling will change how drunken-driving checkpoints are run.
