(2) The checkpoint was a minimally invasive disruption to the motorists because it was set up to produce only a momentary stop, and it allowed officers to distribute literature on seatbelt use and a general overview of the vehicle for any obvious equipment violations. (3) Testimony showed the checkpoint had been administratively determined prior to it being set up and that the administrative determination was supported by local experience. (4) The checkpoint was part of a well-publicized, statewide effort to encourage motorists to use their seatbelts. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pacourts.us\/assets\/opinions\/Superior\/out\/J-S19010-13o%20-%201014842291657243.pdf?cb=1\">Commonwealth v.
