No.

That was the theory and justification, though. But almost from the start it expanded. Now it's an opportunity to check everyone's identification papers and generate revenue through tickets for seatbelt use, lack of insurance, expired tags, etc.

Answer

Check points may be for other reasons, but generally they are held at times of the year when there are a high number of drunk drivers on the road. Remember, if you are driving under the influence, there are plenty of physical signs that can be observed before they take the time to check your license.
