In Maryland, sobriety checkpoints are completely legal. These checkpoints are police traffic stops that are not necessarily tied to any individual or specific suspicions. The location of these checkpoints is chosen randomly, and the checkpoint is temporary. During the sobriety checkpoint, the drivers are interviewed and only in case of suspicion the drivers are subjected to a sobriety test. The purpose of these roadblocks is to clear the streets of the dangers of intoxicated drivers. A According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), these checkpoints prevent 1 out of 10 DUI caused deaths. But even at a checkpoint, you have a series of Maryland DUI checkpoint rights. If your rights are not respected, you can contact your DUI lawyer from Maryland.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
