wake co. plans dwi checkpoint

Published May. 31, 2008

At an undisclosed location Saturday evening, Wake County Sheriff’s deputies will set their sights on stopping those who drink and drive.

 

So...It would seem as long as we violate everyones constitutional rights against searches without probable cause, it's OK?

 " There's been reports of speeding..."

 ...so we'll do an illegal checkpoint?

lol, comical stuff

...and if that doesn't work, we can beat the information out of 'em.

Scary indeed

God help us.

I like you idea RKBA, maybe if we did stop everybody at the mall and run a check on them for a couple of weeks, we could get rid of a lot of the wanted people out there in society. Just like if we were to start executing drivers who kill people because of drunk driving or deport or jail every illegal alien that's picked up, I bet it wouldn't take long for people to learn not to drive drunk or for all the illegals to "make a run for the border".

This is a case where those who think checkpoints for safety's sake are fine, and those who do not like them for constitutional reasons...are both right. I can see both sides here.

Dang, I took a drunken turn once into East Germany, talk about rights violating. My Gods I was a deer in headlights. I sobered up fast.

rkba - I think I'm like you: I'm stunned at the attitude of these folks. I wonder how many of them jump out of their chairs at the idea of us listening to enemy communications from overseas - something actually PERMISSBLE under the 4th Amendment?

" I don't think they are "illegal searches". Most of the time it only slows you down for about a minute or 2."

Ah! So the secret to being able to detain and question someone without probable cause, is to do it quickly!

"The last check point I heard the stats on they no only caught about 30 drunk drivers but a bunch of people with drugs, out of date registration, out of date inspection stickers,"

Great! Let's do this at shopping malls too. Think of the people with drugs and warrants you could find there, if you frisked people , put the drug dogs on them, and ran warrant checks! Bet you'd love that!! Line em up! Der papers please!!

" I wish the cops had a handheld scanner like they have at Wal-Mart so they could scan your license "

Better yet, search and scan EVERYONE at WalMart! Never mind the 4th Amendment, it's like SO old fashioned!

I have no problems with check points. I don't think they are "illegal searches". Most of the time it only slows you down for about a minute or 2. The last check point I heard the stats on they no only caught about 30 drunk drivers but a bunch of people with drugs, out of date registration, out of date inspection stickers, and a few with warrants. I wish the cops had a handheld scanner like they have at Wal-Mart so they could scan your license and it would show your picture and if you have any warrants or not.

Being able to be in public without being harassed by cops IS a right, or it was, until it became one that's been hijacked "for the children...".
