It's just around the corner as explicit gun searches, but in many states LEOs use "sobriety" or "seatbelt compliance" checkpoints to troll for general violations of anything. IOW, it's an opportunity to take a hard look inside the cars of otherwise suspicionless citizens and shake them up a little to elicit "probable cause".

"Do you have any weapons in your car" is a fair question, followed by "do you mind if we look?"

If you say "yes, I do mind, do you have a warrant?" this may be interpreted as their "probable cause", because "innocent people almost always give consent."

I think in Kentucky they have been using uniformed National Guard troops to help man up these "seatbelt compliance" checkpoints.

Bravo!

What's the phrase - ?

"Art imitates life" or "Life imitates art"? The events in your 2 exerpts could unfold any time during our new "patriotic" war. The sheeple will now do anything for security.

Love the description of the soccer mom in flight mode. Too real. Keep me updated on your progress.

Not sure about the KY Guard manning the seatbelt checkpoints. I haven't seen it here in the Northern sector. Wouldn't surprise me though. I'll look into it.
