"Reminds me of something I did after getting a ticket when I was seventeen. Placed my self about 1/4 mile up the road with a sign that said "speed trap ahead"! I got arrested, jailed and fined $500, no free chicken. LOL

I do this regularly, only for the schweigenhalten, the hated and feared roadblocks to sniff all drivers. They never do anything to me, except threaten, since the alleged purpose of the schweigenhalten is publicity, and surprise is not supposed to be an element.

These so-called "sobriety checkpoints" are unconstitutional in at least 14 states and banned in others. Not so in California. Recently Fresno has stepped up their use. Absolutely no probable cause to stop me, the tea-totaler, because someone else may be breaking the law.

"We will begin the roadblocks during the holiday season, when the ----------- people are in a festive mood and most likely will not object." Joseph Goebbels, 1933(blank is German).

They have arrested me for trumped up charges, however, but that's what a body of law called "arrest without probable cause" is all about, and yes I won.

Only trouble with KFC is their use of hydrogenated oils which cause heart disease. If a clown dressed as a clogged artery showed up, I might respect the picket line.

Love the cole slaw, though, made with miracle whip! Still, ever see the way those farmhands toss the cabbage heads into the trucks! Talk about cruelty!
