I disagree with nothing here. The roadblock approach to establishing probable cause still torques my jaws severely. In my area they call them 'safety checks', and drivers are detained randomly. Sometimes they find no impaired drivers, but arrests for no license, weapons, bogus plates, open container, outstanding warrants on other charges,etc are common along with administrative violations like seat belt, insurance and what have you. Violations all, but the mass examination method used reminds me of Central America. And like much of Central America it just smells funny.
Did you ever wonder why that was?
