Although people in the United States are entitled to privacy and freedom from government intrusion, there is a limit to that privacy. State or federal police officers are allowed, where justified, to search your premises, car, or other property in order to look for and seize illegal items, stolen goods or evidence of a crime. DUI is a crime, therefore the police have the authority to make an arrest. Also, the owner/person responsible for the "private property" may give the police permission to conduct searches on that property.
