Question: Is it legal to avoid a DUI or DWI checkpoint in Maryland.
Answer : Yes, unless you break some other law in doing so.
When it comes to the checkpoint itself in Maryland, the time and location must be announced to the community ( usually via newspaper, radio or TV). On the day of the checkpoint, signs must also be posted in order to notify drivers of the event. The checkpoint event must be conducted by uniformed police officers in police vehicles. drivers should be chosen randomly, using a predetermined non-biased method ( such as every other vehicle, for instance). In addition, police officers may not arrest a driver for turning around in order to avoid the checkpoint ( unless the act of turning around, itself, breaks some other law).
However, be aware that it depends on the driver's specific circumstances whether it is advisable for him or her to do so.
