Are DUI Checkpoints Legal in Idaho

Are DUI Checkpoints Legal in Idaho?

Short answer: No. Idaho courts have rejected sobriety checkpoints under the state constitution. That means your stop must be justified by individualized suspicion (or another recognized exception). If your case started at a “roadblock,” we will be looking hard at suppression.

What to do if you were stopped at a checkpoint out of state

Checkpoint law varies widely. If your stop happened outside Idaho but your case is here (e.g., license issues), bring us the paperwork so we can advise based on that state's rules.
