At the slightest hint that this has ever been used for purposes other than getting murdering drunks of the public rights of way, I’ll be with you. Is there any such allegation, or is this just people getting their knickers twisted over the rights of heavy drinkers to commit mayhem?
So you're good with being randomly stopped and detained at any time for any reason, as long as they promise you it's for your own safety? "Probable cause" and "reasonable suspicion" don't rank highly with you?
Have a cell phone? Belong to social media? All checkpoints are texted, Tweeted, and Facebooked. In other words, even though this is still a clear violation of the 4th, those actually driving under the influence are avoiding the checkpoints anyway. Waste of time, waste of money, waste of parchment and ink on the part of the Framers.
Congratulations! You've won the Police State Supporter Award for this thread. The award can be collected through your local jackboots. I'm sure you know how to get in touch with them.
That is the most horrible reasoning I’ve ever heard on FR. Let’s give up our rights and become a police state with the kind, compassionate traffic Nazi’s ensuring law and order by sticking us with needles. After all, the state has our best interests at heart, of course! They would never lie, switch blood samples, infect us with diseases, lie, tamper with evidence, inject us with drugs unknowingly, use NSA date to persecute conservatives through this process...
Let’s just let them do whatever they want!!! It’s all for the peace and security of the state! After all the silly old rights of the individual are so passé. We must submit for the common good!
