DeForest WI police intentionally create a false impression of a random checkpoint for drunken drivers. Such a checkpoint is illegal in Wisconsin and 11 other states.
Police frequently set up a fake checkpoint along County Road V and US 51. Officers may wear bright reflective vests, set up cones and have electronic road signs warning of a "OWI task force ahead."
But instead of pulling over drivers randomly, officers stop motorists for any infractions they spot. These efforts usually result in citations, warnings and arrests.
