True or False: An officer can arrest you at a sobriety checkpoint even if you weren't pulled over for anything.

At a sobriety checkpoint, law enforcement officers are permitted to conduct brief, non-intrusive stops of vehicles to check for signs of impairment. Even if a driver has not committed a specific traffic violation, if an officer observes signs of intoxication or impairment during the course of the checkpoint, that officer has the authority to arrest the driver.

The legal basis for sobriety checkpoints is rooted in the interest of public safety, as they aim to deter impaired driving and catch offenders before they endanger themselves or others. This means that any observable behavior indicative of intoxication or other impairments can lead to an officer deciding to make an arrest, regardless of whether a traffic infraction took place prior to the stop.

In contrast, the other options suggest varying limitations on an officer's authority which do not align with the established legal framework supporting sobriety checkpoints. Therefore, the assertion that an officer can arrest you at a sobriety checkpoint without having pulled you over for a specific traffic offense is accurate.
