If a child is abducted, a dangerous felon escapes from prison, etc., should law enforcement have the authority to set up roadblocks and ask questions?

Was any of this true in this case? No? Oh, you're just misdirecting again? Being deceptive?

Is there ever a Constitutional reason for roadblocks?

I already answered this to you. I said (and the courts agree with me on this) when there is a compelling public safety rationale.

And then you misdirected. Just like you're doing here! It's remarkable! It's almost as if you don't actually want to discuss the merits or legality or morality of this particular roadblock... you just want to dance around flinging crap and stirring everyone up.

See the question mark? That indicated a question.

when there is a compelling public safety rationale.

Who sets the standard for "compelling public safety rational"? The court, the sheriff, chief of police, town constable?

you don't actually want to discuss the merits or legality or morality of this particular roadblock..

Have the courts ever found roadblocks to be immoral? Can state legislatures decide which roadblocks are legal in the face of the US Constitution?
