While the legality of such roadblocks are not in dispute, the ability for the police to seize alcohol from persons over 21, provided containers are unopened, will be prohibited after July 1, 2018, following the passage of Mississippi House Bill 192, which legalizes transport of all alcohol through dry counties within the state.[10]
