SC: Where def avoided a DUI checkpoint, he couldn’t challenge its constitutionality

Where defendant was stopped because he avoided a checkpoint, the constitutionality of the checkpoint isn’t relevant to the appeal because there was no stop. An officer pursued and found the car parked with the lights off. Coming up to the window, the officer could smell alcohol on the driver. This “stop” was with reasonable suspicion. State v. Williams, 2016 S.C. App. LEXIS 50 (May 25, 2016).
