Permanent DUI Checkpoints
|
Well, why not?police 1 If the occasional random roadside stop n’ frisk is a good idea – and not a violation of anyone’s rights – why not make such gantlets ubiquitous – and permanent? That’s the nut of San Antonio Deputy Police Chief Anthony Trevino’s argument in favor of establishing permanent DWI checkpoints. He’d like them in the vicinity of what he calls “hot spots” – that is, establishments where alcohol is served, such as restaurants and bars. (See here for the news story.) But why not everywhere? After all, “drunk driving” is a possibility anywhere. If Trevino’s wish is granted, the price of going out to dinner will include not merely the possibility of having to submit to an unwarranted (and unwanted) interrogation and inspection by the likes of Trevino and his pals. It will be a certain thing. The new normal – part of the routine. Just like being forced to assume the I surrender pose at the airport, spread your legs and let a blue-shirted goon have his (or her) way with you as the price of getting on an airplane. It has already been established in law – sanctified by the black-clad priests of legalese – that it is not “unreasonable” (and so, not a violation of the Fourth Amendment) to stop vehicles at random – that is, without any specific probable cause – and require drivers to roll down their window, provide ID, answer questions and – at the arbitrary discretion of the costumed enforcer – remove themselves from their vehicle and submit to a sobriety test of one kind or another. To prove to his satisfaction, in other words, that you aren’t “drunk.” As opposed to the old-fashioned idea that it’s up to the law to prove you are.police 2 If all that is “reasonable” – and not a violation of the Fourth (and Fifth) Amendment – then surely what Trevino is proposing ought to pass muster, too. Which is why, in all likelihood, it will pass muster. more http://ericpetersautos.com/2013/01/09/permanent-checkpoints/ |

When will the sheeple wake up to the reality that these drones are all corporate fascist and have absolutely no authority or jurisdiction over the private citizen unless they are committing a crime or in the process of.
The only authority they have is their gun which represents nothing more then force and violence condoned and sanctioned by the dens of corruption people call courts.
Only when we the people stop feeding the bears and quite giving these road pirates the consent and power to rob,steal, plunder and even murder, will this madness stop and these thugs with guns and badges are held accountable for the crimes they commit on a daily basis including their trainers and those who hire these drones.
If you are completely insane your ideas are promoted. If you are sane & intelligent you are a enemy of the state, a terrorist. So expect road blocks. For a nation at war these would be considered targets of opportunity.
Where do these drones come from?
