is stopping to check insurance and registration a seizure in a way that a dwi checkpoint is not? is combination itself a problem? or does dwi have an exigency that justifies an otherwise unlawful seizure?

It's been years, and I can't look it up right now, but my memory is that DWI checkpoints specifically are ok b/c they are both justified by a serious public safety concern and tied to the roads (unlike, say, checkpoints to look for drugs). Paperwork doesn't have the same public safety justification

Definitely do not bet on my being correct about it!

that's okay, I assure you that your uncompensated responses to my idle and I'm sure ignorant musings are being held to a very low bar
