If you don’t mind being pulled over without probable cause, and you don’t mind DNA samples being forcibly taken from you, would you also have no problem with police searches of your home? If, say, they set up door-to-door searches in your neighborhood looking for residents who had drugs?
I was never pulled over without probable cause. I have never had DNA taken from me, voluntarily or involuntarily.
I did get stopped by a police car for going through a stop sign, about a month ago.
When I rolled down the window I asked: "What did I do?" He said that I went through a stop sign. I was honest. I said: "I did? I THOUGHT I stopped but to be honest I wasn't paying that much attention and was thinking of something else."

I guess he was prepared for the normal angry driver as he just looked at me for a minute. The he gave me the MILDEST scolding I have ever received and did NOT give me the ticket that I deserved.
If I were 45 years younger I would have thought that I didn't get the ticket because I was cute. But, I sure as heck am not cute anymore. He didn't give me the ticket because, I think, I owned up to not paying attention and was prepared to take the ticket.

PROBABLE CAUSE, that's the key word, isn't it?

I've never had the police search my home, nor have the police here ever set up door-to-door searches in our neighborhood looking for residents who had drugs.
My neighborhood is AMAZINGLY quiet, I'm afraid.

If you wouldn’t mind THAT, would you mind the feds coming into your house and examining your reading material, and confiscating magazines and newspapers they didn’t want you to have?
Where does it cross the line for you? Ed
I can't imagine the feds having ANY interest in me. If the feds came to my house, out of the blue, to look at my reading material, magazines and newspapers I would be flabbergasted. I don't have magazines, newspapers are rags and I get my news on-line.
I would let them in, without having a tizzy fit, and inform that they might die of boredom looking at my reading material. I read Georgette Heyer and Ellis Peters: women authors who wrote about the Regency period and murders, respectively.

Question: have you ever been pulled over without probable cause, had DNA samples forcibly taken from you and had door-to-door police searches looking for drugs in your neighborhood?
If you have, that is terrible and I do understand your ~~hatred~~ disenchantment with the thin blue line.

Finally, where does it cross the line? I don't know. I've never had any real problems in this country with the police. I actually started the police academy when I was MUCH younger. My husband taught me to shoot as well. My favorite gun was his little Beretta. Fit right in my hand. I'm not small but my hands are.

Although we are talking about the Fourth Amendment here, the Fifth also is applicable. I too am was of the inclination of “I have nothing to worry about, I'll talk to the police, or let them look around.” Then I watched the following youtube. “Never talk to the police.” A VERY good, entertaining, and yes - educational video.

Now. Tell me more about why you take all of your news from the internet so it can't be traced. And your interest in murder and firearms I find fascinating! ;)

All of that said - I thought that those roadblocks to actually catch and arrest drunk drivers were ruled “lawful” because they either test/search ALL of the people, or test/search RANDOM people. “Lawful” is in quotes as I don't see those clauses in the Fourth Amendment.
