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"
I thought the ruling said it was OK to collect DNA when arrested. This is just a sweep. Where's the "probable cause"?
If true, this is big and needs some better verification
Matt Murphy is on 100.5 FM, not 105.5 FM
I couldn’t find a reference on either station’s website.
I would like to know who authorized payments for sample collection. This should be easy to trace.
Does the road cut through Fed land (Wildlife Refuge)?
Some say being stopped for speeding or broken tail light constitutes ‘arrest’.
Hope that’s not true.
“In preparation for the Rapid DNA System, S&T conducted a broad review of DNA needs across DHS operational components and found several consistent needs for verification of family relationships, countering human trafficking, family reunification, identification of victims following mass casualties, and checks against DNA samples of known criminals. Each of these applications require significant policy development or revisions and privacy and civil rights assessments to allow the use of DNA in operational settings.”

The cycle proceeds thus:
Motorist is stopped and asked for a swab.
Motorist refuses.
Cop pulls out nightstick and busts out tail light.
Motorist is arrested for broken tail light.
DNA is collected.
Thanks very much, esteemed Justices /sarc
The feds don,t need no stinkin, laws .
Don’t anyone say Alex Jones.
Whoops, sorry, I listen to both and I posted after I got to work (don’t tell anyone!)
Can I change the source at the title or can mods do it?
You can always count on the federal government to find new and innovative ways to waste tax money.
No, just a rural dead end road. Not on federal lands, been seeing alot of white DHS VEHICLES lately.
Not that I do not believe you....considering all the crap that’s gone on lately. Thanx for the heads up though.
“The Federal DOT”? I call BS. Who is “the federal DOT”? NTSB? Were these payments going to be cash out of somebody’s wallet? This is BS.
Pell City chief said that it had nothing to do with Pell City police and that no Pell City officers were involved. Apparently St Clair County deputies were.
Is there anything on Matt Murphy’s Twitter account?
What is alarming is when Obozo-care is fully up and operational, are they going to use routine blood tests as an opportunity to collect DNA on all Americans?
Bet they will.

That's a bet I'll take. The chances that they WON'T is a long shot.
I will no longer seek medical attention anymore. I'm still young and expect to die young at the hands of fascists.
