Even though they are legal, OVI checkpoints are always going to be somewhat controversial. At a checkpoint, the police may stop every single driver to see if they're intoxicated before allowing them to continue. This is far different than normal traffic stops, which require the police to have a reason to pull the car over. Many drivers think it is unfair that the police can pull everyone over, even without cause, at a checkpoint.

Controversial or not, these keep happening. A recent checkpoint in Ohio saw multiple arrests.

When you and your spouse decided to buy a vacation home, you did not just want a property up in Michigan or out on the East Coast. You went all out and paid well over $1 million for a property in Europe. You bought a beautiful historic home on the water. It had a lot of charm and really gave you the relaxing escape you were looking for.

Now you are trying to sell, though, as you and your spouse have decided to get divorced. Neither one of you wants to keep such an expensive asset alone, so you are going to divide what you earn after selling. Here are a few tips to help you make that sale:

• Sell the dream. The house must be clean and well-kept. Make sure the potential buyer can see themselves moving in right away.
• Take your personal touches out of the house. They may not have your taste. Make the home a blank canvas.
• Pick the best feature and do what you can to emphasize it. Possible features could include a great view, water access, an updated kitchen or a stunning master suite.
• Show off what you loved about the property. Maybe it was escapism and an idyllic existence in the French countryside. Someone else wants that same experience, too. Make sure they can see it in your property.
• Stay flexible. Selling in another country can take time, and it is complicated. Make sure you know what you are in for.

You and your spouse actually started talking about your business plans before you got married. You launched the company the same year that you tied the knot.

Now you want to get divorced. What does that mean for your business?

OVI checkpoints are useful tools for the police to ensure people who drink alcohol stay off the road. They also allow the police to pinpoint drunk drivers before they harm anyone. In a recent checkpoint in Youngstown, Ohio, the police arrested seven people on suspicion of drunk driving and an additional person for having an outstanding warrant. 

Many people find these checkpoints to be a nuisance, but they only exist for your own good. As long as you do not drink and drive, you should have nothing to worry about, and you should get through these checkpoints in a couple of minutes. However, you still have rights at these checkpoints, and you can exercise them.
