>>I disagree with highway checkpoints myself but harassing the cops is not only stupid, it’s unfair to the cop”

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”

That's no reason to give the cop a hard time. Take it up with your elected officials.

I used to work in a sawmill and you would be amazed at how many greenies wanted to give me a hard time for trying to make a living.

When they have DUI checkpoints here, they pull over 100 cars, arrest two people for DUI, hand out 50 tickets for burnt out head lights, expired Registarion, Broken tail lights, etc etc etc.
Sounds like a money maker to me.
