c. A roadblock to detect evidence of ordinary criminal wrongdoing.
The Supreme Court in City of Indianapolis v. Edmond (2000) held that checkpoints whose primary purpose is general crime control (e.g., drug interdiction) are unconstitutional. By contrast, sobriety checkpoints (Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz), immigration checkpoints near the border (United States v. Martinez-Fuerte), and information checkpoints about a specific recent crime like a hit-and-run (Illinois v. Lidster) have been upheld.
