You're reading Can a police officer walk into a bar and tell everyone if anybody gets in their car and attempts to drive he will pull them over? And then stop them before they get out of the lot, and arrest them for DUI?

This is against the law in all 50 states, not "preventative policing". First, a police officer must have what is known as 'probable cause' to pull you over. Typically, this means you must commit some offense under the Vehicle Code. An officer cannot simply wait outside the bar, watch for people going to their cars, and pull them over: that is not a valid probable cause. If the officers pulled you over without probable cause, you need a lawyer to file a suppression motion to get the illegally obtained evidence thrown out.
