Our morning drive show reported this morning that the Federal DOT was taking DNA swabs and blood at apparent roadblocks in St Clair Co. Alabama.
Pell City Police chief confirmed that off duty County deputies were used by Fed Dot to man the road blocks.
DNA samples were apparently voluntary, as one witness said she was offered 60 bucks for blood and saliva while another declined blood but was paid 10 bucks for saliva.
Nothing to see here folks, move along. After all it was voluntary"
Why were roadblocks in St. Clair, Bibb counties asking for blood & DNA samples this weekend? (AL)

Make sure to take a few with you, when you go, alright?
I wonder if Obamacare will cover our lobotomies..
" Hey, if it was good enough for Rosemary Kennedy, it's good enough for you.."
So, yea, Al.com say’s the cops say “free to drive away, blah, blah”.
Sure, just like all the other roadblocks? Or not? This one was different? We promise?
Earlier, kristinn posted a link that said this was part of a government program. That they only tested people who had already been pulled over? For drug and alcohol situations? Right? Or wrong?
So, you have County Sheriffs Deputies, pulling “random” people off the road. And asking them to “voluntarily” submit to drug and alcohol tests? Really? I must be misunderstanding something. Please help..
Doggone it!! It has gone from a perfectly good conspiracy theory to truth.
Who’d have thunk it?
Those who can't operate in the light because their deeds are evil. Of course the scheme was designed to intimidate and/or dupe a sufficient % of drivers. They've been stopped. Their license plates identify them. They are aware that police depts. have a reputation for holding on to bad apples or for systemic corruption and lawlessness. They know that there is no such thing as driving away anonymously. Saying "No thank you" could mean subsequent tickets and fines for the slightest infractions, real or manufactured.
Manipulators exploit these types of perceptions and realities to encourage compliance. Legitimate information gathering does not require such sleezeball tactics. This one is so top-heavy on the plausible deniability "it was voluntary" cover that it falls over on itself.
DNA samples taken in St. Clair County

One detail from the article (Notice it is an ipad?)
“They do a swab. It was actually one of the assistants that took the swab. And then I took a brief survey on an ipad. And then I proceeded to the phlebotomist who explained to me what he was doing and then he took a little sample of my blood,” she said.

I heard that if you refused to submit a sample, they detained you and searched your vehicle!

I’ll do what I can. No promises though.
Thank you for the “heads-up!”
In today’s paper (I have not yet acquired the skills necessary to clean up this link):
Not much of an article, but at least the info is out there...
It's the sheeple metality. Look what they elected not once but twice. Some gave it out for free. Others held out for a few gimme dollars. Each group left thinking they were better off. Today it's a traffic stop swabbing scam, tomorrow it'll be what? A swab for an alcohol level? Really? If that's all it was then they'd have been doing a breathalizer and having drivers walk straight lines. No, swabs are for DNA.
Thanks for your link

I agree - DNA collection was the purpose of the roadblock.
The other purpose for DNA collection is for the biometric national ID that is in the immigration bill.
In another article it mentioned they wanted to find out if people were using over the counter medications which tells you they can get a lot of info from these samples.
In this article posted above now has a video. It says that “saliva and blood samples were not DNA samples” . Really ?
http://www.abc3340.com/story/22553878/dna-samples-taken-in-st-clair-county
is being conducted at 60 sites across the country" - total of 60 or 60 that day?
If drivers refused to give samples, they were allowed to drive away - were their license plates recorded and were the drivers' and passengers' pictures taken?
Similar studies were conducted in 1973, 1986, 1996 and 2007 - DNA swabs were used out in the middle of nowhere roadblocks in 1973? Riiight.
From your second link:
Anyone who stopped at one of four roadblocks - so, they can't get their stories straight on it being 4 or 60 roadblocks. Must be that IRS counting where 2 really means a hundred.
participants got money in return - the samples were legally sold by the driver to the government. Done deal. No reset button. No do overs.
It was actually one of the assistants that took the swab - IOW, it wasn't one of the "off duty deputies" who were getting outside pay so who was this "assistant" really working for because this certainly doesn't fall under the normal National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration duties.
over the county or prescription medication you take how many times a day do you take it. Do you drink alcohol. Do you drive after drinking - yet this sheeple never questioned the questioners why some OTC throat spray she might have used last winter had anything to do with her driving that day.
I had never had to give my finger prints for anything until the last time my drivers' lic was renewed. Freaked me out. I hadn't done anything against the law. I wasn't a criminal. Why did they suddenly need my prints? I should have worn a burka and screeched at them it was against my religion, Allah be praised! Slippery slope, indeed, and the sharp rocky bottom is coming into view.
I agree with all you mentioned in the past few posts - the articles are revealing - either lacking in detail or by contraction.
One other thing - post 128 it was noted that they used an ipad. Here’s the thing: In Indiana they issued all students an ipad. In the Common core curriculum, the plan is to use the ipad to track (spy using the video feature) student behavior.

Off-duty cops collect DNA samples at Alabama roadblocks

Our sheriff has addressed the issue with an emphatic not gonna happen here on his watch!
I passed a real estate salesman exam in California in the late 1970’s.
The State of California required me to be finger printed by the police. I resented it, to tell you the truth, but I went to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department headquarters and a plain clothes deputy took all of my finger prints, holding first my right hand and then my left hand.
I guess he could tell I was uptight about the whole process, so he told me to “relax” as he finger printed me. Overall, he was rather friendly while I chatted with him, but I still was ticked off that I had to be finger printed in the first place.
At the time, I noticed an area on the finger print card that stated, “FBI number.” I’ve always wondered if my finger prints are on file with the FBI as a result. If so, that annoys me because I’ve never been arrested in my life.
People shouldn’t be finger printed just to renew their driver’s license, either. I don’t blame you for being pi$$ed off. Here in Maine, the last time I renewed my driver’s license was in the summer of 2008.....no finger prints were taken. My license runs out in one year, we’ll see what happens then.
