It was live when posted and nearly all day today.
We must have crashed their server or used up their bandwidth allowance.
Sorry, but good that several people apparently got to see it before it died.
Nominated for post of the day.
You are saying that once convicted this person has to go to jail for driving without a license and is forever impaired?
The specific incident above was a case of his being sober but disqualified by loss, suspension, of his license -- not by permanent revocation.
Obviously, this checkpoint was not in front of Ted Kennedy's condo.
No, the vague concept of government run amok simply doesn't compare to the incompetance of an idiot in the moment. And, since people cannot seem to exercise any personal sense of responsibility then what they get is "government" making sure that they do.
Here's a simple idea; keep your eyes on the road, a good hand on the wheel, watch where you are going and pay attention to the rules of the road. If we all did that then there would be no problem.
Except for that crooked license plate bracket or cracked windshield which opens the door to armed government agents imprisoning you and confiscating your net worth.
Other than that, everything would be okay.
Who's demanding anything?
Yeah. Bring that up at the next militia meeting and I am sure that you will get a while lotta "Attaboy Verne"s.
You and your government enabling comrades of the statist safety brigade. I believe it was a request for a ban on driving while talking on a cell phone.
Facts are facts. Your chances or having an accident increase by talking on a cell phone that lack a hands free device. I see it all over my neighborhood. Minivan crossing the lane lines, taking slow and wide assed turns and when you get beside her, it's soccer Mom yapping on the phone and doing whatever else while driving. And that's just one example.
You want to smash up your own vehicle that's between you and your insurance company.
"...Incidentally, if you find yourself in line for one of these, stay there. Evading or avoiding the checkpoint is in itself an arrestable offense, and there are LEO stationed to watch..."
I was stopped two times for so-called "License/Registration/Insurance Checkpoints" in adjoining counties, in the middle of the day, all within the span of one hour a few months ago. Can you imagine the breathless, high-speed excitement I could have caused if I simply opted to make a legal U-turn and continue on my way to my clients' businesses for scheduled appointments?
I am always curious if this is a study of "frogs being slowly boiled in water" just to see how much abuse we'll tolerate as a society. My own personal line-in-the-sand is when I'll eventually be asked to open my trunk. They'll have to obtain a warrant to see my jumper cables and antifreeze. They'll be needlessly wasting my time, so I might as well peacefully lodge my disapproval when that day arrives.

Some really do hate it – he was one of them.

And the stomach would be much better protected if the skeleton grew over it. But then we wouldn't be able to bend over. You and your statist comrades have crippled this country with legislation. You have demanded a cancerous government to create a policy for whatever problem dateline covered this week. People willing to empower government to solve every problem are the biggest threat this country faces, because you devalue personal responsibility and create a nation of larvae unable to do anything but suck the rotted flesh off of the corpse of freedom.
Life.
Do you often make things up and attribute them to others?
Nice rhetoric....does it get you the attention you seek on Saturday nights?
I guess if there's ever a joint meeting of the militia and the Committee to Criminalize Everything That We Find Dangerous or Offensive, I'll see you there.
