So it begins. We would like to see your papers please.
You watch too many movies.
At this stage of the game, I’d trust the professionalism of the Marines over the police when it comes to checkpoints.
That being said, I take a dim view of local police allowing Marines to observe a checkpoint. It’s fine line too easily crossed when it comes to Posse Comitatus and the military being directly involved with civilian law enforcement.
The cops say they invited the Marines. What I’d like to know is why the Marines didn’t invite the police on base to give them pointers when it comes to field sobriety tests?
It began a few years ago when the courts said we could be searched at such checkpoints.
Boy that President Elect is not wasting anytime.
