HELENA, MT (AP) -- For motorists wondering whether police are working on a quota system, an answer can be found in Montana.
A new policy requires state troopers to stop at least one vehicle an hour, whether the driver has done anything wrong or not. But the driver doesn't have to be ticketed, so police officials say it's not a quota system.
State police Colonel Paul Grimstad said the rule that took effect on Monday is intended to reduce traffic accidents and drunken driving.
Montana had the highest number of alcohol-related deaths per miles traveled in a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report released in December 2003.
This is so not constitutional.
Agreed.
Of course, this doesn't happen if the car is a stolen rental with stolen tags, being driven by a bond skipping child predator...
"Montana had the highest number of alcohol-related deaths per miles traveled in a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report released in December 2003".
Prolly cuz you have to drive 100 miles to get to a liquor store.
That is what the state gets for electing a Dem like Schweitzer as governor.
This cannot be legal. Can it?
What are the coppers gonna tell drivers they'e stopped when they've done nothing incorrect?
Well they can't profile, after all it IS Montana.
Gotta do something with those cops.

That's good...
Another example how all the nuts escape California and infest these states.

You have to remember, in most counties in Montana there is no law against "open containers". In most parts of the State it is legal to "drink and drive" so long as you are not above the legal limit.

Sir, did you brush you teeth today? I need to look in your mouth...
Such silliness from the country that gives you "liberty".
Unbelievable.
Flash your lights and get the police officer to pull over.
Consider it a safety check, to insure that your police officers are not driving without sufficient sleep, or under emotional distress. We would not want our police officers to become a safety hazard.
YOU, as a citizen, must do your duty to insure the safety of our police officers!
"They" passed a law banning open containers this last session.
One car an hour thats nothing
Most cars run up to 5 miles an hour over the speed limit
Thats all you need to get your quota
