Have you ever had the “pleasure” of watching an Alex Jones produced video?
I disagree with highway checkpoints myself but harrassing the cops is not only stupid, it’s unfair to the cop. Jones pulls up the the checkpoint and immediately starts screeching in their faces about them being the gestapo and crap like that. Trust me, most police officers behave far better than I would in that situation.

I haven’t seen any: next time I’m down at the video shop I’ll see if there are any in.
Like you, I don’t think it is fair to use working cops for entertainment purposes: if that is what he’s doing then it is only fair that the cops get to use working video producers for entertainment purposes.
I lived in Virginia for a while. The check points the police setup from time to time was not only wrong, it stank of some sort of police state.
When traveling from point A to point B your stopped in a que of autos waiting to pull up to a police checkpoint checking license, registration and insurance just felt like, “PAY-PAHS PLEECE, VWEAR AH ZEW GOWING, VWAT BEESNESS ZEW U HAHV”
Sorry, I am adamantly against law enforcement stopping people at random or collectively to enforce tax law or to check to see if your papers are in order.
I'm a bit split on the DUI checkpoints at 2am.
A buddy I worked with, an older gentleman. He was stopped coming from a poker game around one or two in the morning.
He was stopped at a DUI checkpoint and given the third degree. He doesn't even drink, however he was pulled from his car and made to go through field sobriety test.
You know, one leg up...count to ten. Walk the line and all that jazz.
The cop said, his eyes were red. That was supposedly the officers probable cause.
Sorry, but there is something called, “official oppression”
