They tested in in Alabama, and barely got squawks of protest. Some people here on Free Republic were willing to defend the practice.
Of course they’re going nationwide.

The roadblocks are part of a national study led by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration an effort by NSA, which is trying to determine how many drivers are on the road with drugs or alcohol in their systems collect everyone's DNA.Fixed.

In all seriousness, some people are so cheap that they will take them up on it even if they are drunk or high.
And that is what they are counting on. ;-)

My state requires by law that everyone provide name and address to an officer. No other information is required unless:
- the person being stopped is a CCW licensee
- is a person on parole
Based upon the advice of a local attorney, my comments to a police officer should begine with:
“Officer, my name is XXXX and I reside at XXX, I am a licensed CCW holder and I am armed. Am I being detained or am I free to go?”

Cops need to stick with their primary role:
Raising money for the Welfare State.

VERY obvious use of “safety concerns” in order to COLLECT DNA.
That the effort is national shows the hand of the great rogressive, MoroccoBomber.

Interesting they chose Alabama. Sounds like a big F.U. from the Feds to a Red State to me.
To: Buckeye McFrog
Clearly they chose it to test local compliance.
Clearly they deemed it successful enough to escalate.

Right on. I’ve noticed that so-called traffic safety agencies - CHP e.g. - are now ruthless in citing infractions, where before they might have been inclined to issue a warning. Bag men for the governor now.

Defend? Anyone who claims to be a conservative and defends this should be required to turn in their credentials

“National Highway Traffic Safety Administration”
Another Federal wasteland that needs to go away.

Wonder if they will do this in Colorado once they start cruising around on legalized weed? Somehow I doubt it.
Alabama still has dry counties, for cripes sakes.

You want some DNA, officer? Here ya go. Hope you don't mind it in brown.
