I have often been a critic of law enforcement overreach, and I believe "sobriety checkpoints" should be banned. With that said, I think it is reasonable for police officers to pull over a vehicle registered to someone with a suspended driver's license. Police have long had the right to question or detain someone if there is probable cause, and this is probable cause. Would it possibly be inconvenient for an innocent person to be pulled over? Sure, but it is not a violation of his/her rights.
