The police department makes no money when someone is arrested. In fact, each arrest costs more to make than is ever recovered by any fine for traffic or criminal arrest.
Are you suggesting government, city, county, state, feds, etc., make no money and or do not recover the money it took to arrest someone, through imposed fines, fees, asset seizures etc? Could I see a link?
Sorry, I cannot supply a link..
So you cannot back up your own statements?
I would challenge you to supply a link
I'll just leave this here barney!
lol

So, how much are they going to compensate the drivers for the time that was stolen while conducting the fishing expedition?

Maybe we digressed a bit, but the original discussion centered around my assertation that eventually the Supreme Court ruling on DNA would be utilized to collect swabs during traffic stops. Just like eventually happened with snookering the public into being for seatbelt laws, politicians swore up and down you'd never "just get pulled over for that", then a few years down the road exactly that happened.

RIGHT from Scalia's dissenting opinion...
*When there comes before us the taking of DNA from an arrestee for a traffic violation, the Court will predictably (and quite rightly) say, “We can find no significant difference between this case and King.” Make no mistake about it: As an entirely predictable consequence of today’s decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national DNA database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason." Maryland v. King (2013) No. 12–207, SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES (Dissenting opinion)

They tried to do DUI check points in Texas, years ago. It was challenged in court and found to be unconstitutional. You will not find them here in Texas.
