I have been through Florida State Trooper checkpoints 3 different times. Twice they waved me through as I wasn’t the correct number for being stopped. The one time they did stop me he glanced at my drivers license and sent me on the way. He didn’t even look for proof of insurance.
There was never any chance of being searched unless I guess they had some reason to suspect me.
I just remembered there was a fourth time. This was on a very rural road and I am sure they were stopping every one. He looked at my license then glanced at my seat belt and hollered at another trooper: “look at this”. The other one came over and they both laughed and sent me on my way.
What they saw was that my seat belt would not work for some reason, it was too short so I had cut part of one in the back off and tied the two pieces together to make it long enough.
Last one I went through was chino ca, 5. Pm on a fri.
Clogged up city traffic. Everyone trying to get home from work.
My theory is that they don’t do them later because the number of cops on ot would be higher
I don't need one because I have a letter from my physician testifying that my implanted pacemaker/defibrillator makes it more dangerous for me to wear the stupid required chest belt restraint than to go without.
