Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

In Michigan Dept. of State Police v. Sitz, 496 U.S. 444 (1990), the Court upheld a warrantless, suspicionless checkpoint designed to detect evidence of drunk driving. Police checkpoints were set up, at which all drivers were stopped and briefly (approximately 25 seconds) observed for signs of intoxication.

In Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U.S. 648 (1979), the Supreme Court held that law enforcement officials cannot randomly stop drivers for the single purpose of checking their drivers' licenses and registration.
