While stuck in line for one of these, I watched the cops "strip search" a car belonging to 2 old ladies. I'm guessing they either had an AK47 on the back seat, OR they innocently agreed to the "random" search the cops requested. The ladies stood beside the car in 90+ degree midday heat, clearly distraught, while the cops EMPTIED their suitcases & belongings on the ground.
After an unsuccessful search, the cops went to the next car, leaving the old ladies to repack their luggage & car in the broiling sun. I wanted to help the ladies, but it's not a good idea to "interfere" in a situation like this. Disgusting!
NEVER agree to a search of your car - you are giving up your rights, & placing yourself in an unnecessarily helpless situation. A bad cop with a small bag in his pocket can ruin your life forever. And there are plenty of bad cops - they're in the paper nearly every day!
Since you think these road blocks are so good, how often would you suggest they use them in your neighborhood? Once a week? How about EVERY day - ALL day? That should catch a few bad guys, but I don't see your neighborhood being one bit safer because of it. Enjoy the lines.

I was stopped on election day, 1984. I was driving old and/or infirm people to polls. I asked the policeman why I was stopped. He said he could stop me for any reason he wanted. He didn't like my (forgive me- I was young) Mondale bumber sticker. He told me what he thought about Mondale, and then I was free to go. http://www.roadblock.org/federal/caseUSsitz.htm

It's my understanding that if they're the ones to take things out, then they need to put them back in. Could be state by state.
Regardless, that's when a good video camera comes in handy with footage sent to FNC.
