Since when are roadblocks considered a guilty sentence?

"Since when are roadblocks considered a guilty sentence?"

I'll answer that if you can answer this question for me:

Why does the Constitution read: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."?

In other words, why is a warrant required before the police can search your home, place of business, etc?

Hi M1-lightning:

"...Since when are roadblocks considered a guilty sentence?..."

Try pulling a legal U-turn as you approach a police roadblock simply because you don't wish to be delayed for a business appointment with an important client. See what happens.

Drive around it or back out/U turn and see if you arent presumed guilty...
