The problem is they stop every car. The assumption is your guilty and have to show proof your not...if they think your guilty from that point they force you into this draconian procedure where your rights are trampled and you are not allowed proper representation or due process.

Why are people so willing to give up their invidividual rights to the progressive ideas?

When I got robbed at gunpoint for walking home after midnight, I had to file for a replacement driver's license. The woman at the DPS office (an old asian woman) gave me a look and asked "what were you doing out that late"?

The presumption is that if you are out and about from 10pm-6am, you are up to no good. Adult. Minor. Makes no difference. Unless you're the mayor's kid.

At least in Harris County, they do not stop every car. They don’t have checkpoints (there are checkpoints in Tampa).

I live in Harris County, and have never been stopped on a “no refusal” weekend.
