While I have no real sympathy for the illegals that were taken into custody, I also do not support the utilization of checkpoints. Want to pull me over based on any laws I may have broken or if I’m driving like I’m drunk then ok. Pulling everyone over without cause and submitting them to sobriety testing is not ok. It’s an infringement on my rights.

I do not support driving under the influence at all but these checkpoints are not the way to battle driver impairment. Just another excuse to stop you for no reason and look for reasons to generate revenue.

The tax money used to fund these fishing expeditions would be better spent identifying, targeting, and deporting those that should not be here.

Give me a $50 bounty on each illegal I round up, and I'll be a wealthy man in a year. I know where to find them. So does the government. Difference is that I want them gone. The government doesn't.

And spot on about checkpoints. Checkpoints aren't compatible with freedom.

Its something that needs to be taken up with the state legislatures.



Here in Michigan the fight over it went to the state supreme court and they ruled them to be a constitutional violation. It went to the US Subprime court who ruled them to be OK but by then the state legislature had figured out that the people were enraged over it and they died quietly.

They can and do find reasons to stop individuals but they can't block a road and check everyone.
