Your papers are NOT in order.
America, Land of the Free.
Am I mistaken or is Maine one of those “blue” states, run by the RAT party?
It's always fun to give your constitution-stomping fascist overreach a cool nickname.
I'm sure there will be a snazzy logo for the participant's service patch.
A Republic, if you can keep it.
For everyone who says “well if you don’t have anything to hide......” I’d like to shove my fist up where the sun don’t shine. Well if you don’t have anything to hide you won’t mind the full body cavity search. Sieg Heil.
Yup. Newspeak.
It was a safety inspection.
“There’s a difference between a checkpoint and a roadblock,” Sheriff Donnie Smith said Monday. “We have the legal right to check vehicles. [We] go to secondary [check] if for some reason they stand out, that’s legal,” Smith said.
...
“What we are doing, we’re just doing an overall check. We’re looking for anything suspicious from illegal aliens, drug trafficking and safety checks.”
If she had a prescription, what is the problem worthy of an arrest?

Yep they look for anything suspicious. But they would not look too closely at people from certain countries would they? After all, they don’t want to profile anyone.
This is nothing new.
The local police used to set up a safety check between my house and the high school when I was a teenager, and every time I went through they found something else wrong with my VW Bug.
That was in reference to the movie “Great Escape”. However, I don’t “checkpoint” well myself.
Find out the names of the local politicians who authorized the search and make darn sure that people know to vote AGAINST them next election.
Sounds like the Border Patrol checkpoints we have in the southern border states, except our checkpoints are usually not manned and when they are manned they wave almost everybody through. During the medfly scare AZ setup “fruit and plant” checkpoints, state troopers checking if you had anything that medflies might sneak a ride on in your car. Funny part about the fruit and plant checkpoints is apparently we decided it would be rude to single out California so they put them on the New Mexico border too.
I was stopped at one of these so called “Safety checkpoints” here in Florida. I was asked to show registration and proof of insurance. I did and was then asked how many beers I had drunk? “One, two hours ago.” I was then told I was okay to go. ???? Where’s my “Safety Inspection” you promised me? He got a real mean look on his face so I left. Pricks.
Driving While Suspended gets you arrested and your car towed to the impound yard.
