“Oh, you’re Syrian refugees? Have a nice day!”
LEO checkpoints.....not just for DUIs any more.
You got any turkeys in the vehicle?
(could be a trick question...)

Papers please!
That was my reaction the minute I read that caption.
They did this in NY (no road blocks but required to pull into rest areas) up to about 20 years ago. There are so many deer now in many areas causing so many car wrecks that the DEC seems to be turning a blind eye.
Hunting tax and it’s over enforcement is still all about the money. Picture ID required.
LEO “safety” checkpoints are common in PA where I live. I have never actually gone through one, because I am too impatient... they are usually located on a main highway (55 mph) and back up traffic for many miles. I just take back roads home when I see this, as do most other people. I would guess that anyone with anything to hide would do the same, so what is the point, other than to inconvenience all motorists during peak commute times returning home from work? I know what the USC has ruled, but they are wrong, this is unconstitutional.
“Got a warrant?” (If you have the time.)
Youth turkey season. I want to see a young turkey shoot a shotgun. I’d pay to see it.
Roadblocks to collect harvest information, I believe that.
What’s the point? Conditioning the population.
I think the effect is not conditioning, but pissing people off to the point where there is real tangible animosity between ordinary folks and the police. The relationship between non-police and police has shifted from collaborative to adversarial.
I wouldn’t think that the police would want to go down that road.I don’t think they realize how vulnerable they are if the population turns against them.
I am glad that we’ve caught all the drug smugglers and undocumented aliens, so now we can turn our LEO attention to less pressing matters like unsigned turkey tags
Joking aside, poaching is a big problem
because of some complete JERKS here in NM.
Trump will win New York 94-1. There is a CD in Brooklyn with a lot of Hasidic Jews. Largely Republican, but for Cruz. That CD will be under 50% for Trump.
I had a bear run in front of my car on sunday here in FL. At first I thought it was a deer but NOPE. LOL.
The actual police have very little power over that. Its all dictated from above.
PS: Am I the only one who sees the obvious 4th Amendment conflict? Roadblocks for the purpose of looking for crimes (fishing) is a clear violation.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court decided that roadblocks are OK, because they violate everyone’s rights equally.
Had a bear on our property 30 hours ago, got into a garbage can...he ran away from the BB’s I was hittin’ him with.
He should be up in the forest now.
