I'm always amazed that stopping people for no cause or reasonable suspicion is NOT considered unreasonable search and seizure. Thank goodness Texas outlawed that BS......because honor the Constitution.

That article should be renamed how to get tazed in the gonads.

BTW - this activity is pretty much halted by the state traffic cops (Ohio State Highway Patrol).

Why the double video?

what if the person is actually wasted and not being pulled over than kills one of your family members
very 50/50 on this indeed

Death penalty...

OR..you could not drink and drive, have all your shit in order...pull up to the checkpoint, present your papers to the cop doing their job, and go about your merry way...

Christ, its not difficult to not make a big deal over this...

[Bill]

OR..you could not arm yourself, live in the designated Jewish ghetto...go to the train, get on the train when requested by the SS guards doing their job, and go to the work camp...

Christ, work makes you free...

Fixed.

[RED-85-Z51]

Fixed.

Everyone has their place in history Comrade Bill

But really, you are comparing the holocaust to a DUI checkpoint?

you are making a very bad assumption here; and that is not all cops are good noble people. These rights are to protect you against bad people who happen to also carry a badge.

I base my assumptions on the fact i know a few cops, and Ive been stopped at a few DUi checkpoints..Police have only ever been good to me, I keep my Insurance card, and registration in my glovebox, and my license is current and in my wallet...my vehicles are maintained in tip top condition and are completely legal...if you do not give a cop a reason to be a dick, generally they wont be a dick...

You're young. Give it time. You'll run into an asshole eventually.

Look at it this way - a lot of the moderators on CF are cops/retired cops, so maybe you've already run into one or two.:yesnod:

[RED-85-Z51]

We had a case here this past week, cop was sitting at the foot of a bridge in a 35 zone..car zipped across the bridge doing 70+ weaving in and out of traffic...driving across lanes...he lit her up when they got off the bridge..she finally did pull over. he went up, could tell she was inebriated...he asked her to get out of the vehicle (this was all on dash cam) and she said no..and went for her ignition..he reached in for the keys, she grabbed his arm and floored it...dragged him about 15 feet, and ran over his foot, and broke his arm, nasty compound fracture...and left...drove off with him laying in the street unable to move.

Citizens stopped, and in fact the officers young daughter was driving past immediately after it happened and was one of the first on the scene...cop will be okay, a citizen followed thel ady and relayed herl ocation to dispatchers...they got her, she had crack pipes and drugs in the vehicle...

As long as cops are out there putting up with these kinds of people, they have the benefit of the doubt from me..

I had a cop read me the riot act when he thought id crossed a parking lot to avoid a stop light and wreck....I asked him to either ticket me, or let me go..he let me go, as Id done nothing wrong. We both made the right decisions...and kept cool heads.

Did I go out and file a grievance? no...

Did I say my civil liberties were violated....no

Was their deep traumatic emotional scarring? I dont think so.

Cop was dealing with a tense situation, and thought he saw me do something I didnt...simple as that.

Nobody said anything about cops being dicks or cops being great guys. The point is, if you don't give them a reason to stop you because your vehicle is completely legal and you haven't broken any traffic laws, then people who live in a (relatively) free society should be free from being forcibly stopped and inspected/interrogated.

Of course, if you feel like no cause/no articulable suspicion "stop and show your papers" "checkpoints" are not unreasonable search and seizure, this sentiment may not apply to you.

Stop and show your papers is a hallmark of a totalitarian society., IMHO. YMMV.

[RED-85-Z51]

If "stop and show your papers" results in getting undesirables and law breakers off the streets, and they arent going to do anything more than stop you, and view your papers...while ensuring your vehicle is legal to drive..im fine with it. Its like check points and weigh stations for semi trucks...they know how heavy they need to be, to be legal...unfortunately, people lie...they overload the trucks, and it creates an unsafe situation...they get stopped, weighed, papers checked..and if illegal, fined and forced to be made legal.

If people would just do right...we wouldnt need checkpoints.

See, now if you had just contacted Spence back then, you could have sued (and won a crapload of money) for the extreme emotional distress, maybe even loss of consortium.
