If a child is abducted, a dangerous felon escapes from prison, etc., should law enforcement have the authority to set up roadblocks and ask questions?
Is there ever a Constitutional reason for roadblocks?
I also think there are some dullards who may argue with somewhat more intelligent quasi-lawyers that having everybody’s DNA and retinal scans and fingerprints and phone numbers in a database would be a groovy thing.
But I think most of the wonks there would finally reach concensus that they don't want their DNA in a databease accessible to each other. :^)
ALASKA WOLF doesn’t care, and it probably doesn’t even believe what it is saying.
ALASKA WOLF IS AN AGITATING TROLL.
Ignore it, it is just trying to stir you up.
ALASKA WOLF IS AN AGITATING TROLL. LOOK AT ITS POSTING HISTORY AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.
But please stop talking to it, it needs your wrath, ignore it, and it will starve.
Public safety exceptions.
I’m on my phone right now so it’ll be difficult to search.
Give me a bit and I’ll get back right to you.
Why so shocked?
< All those supporters of roadblocks in the USSA will welcome whatever the new Siberia will be called. >
Whatcha wanna bet our Siberia equivalent will be New Jersey? It’s close to DC, where all the Reprogramers and Indoctrinators will be trained. Christie will be the warden. ;-)
Was any of this true in this case? No? Oh, you're just misdirecting again? Being deceptive?
Is there ever a Constitutional reason for roadblocks?
I already answered this to you. I said (and the courts agree with me on this) when there is a compelling public safety rationale.
And then you misdirected. Just like you're doing here! It's remarkable! It's almost as if you don't actually want to discuss the merits or legality or morality of this particular roadblock... you just want to dance around flinging crap and stirring everyone up.
Please by all means lets get him zotted. But I am telling you, IT IS LOVING EVERY SECOND OF THIS. I am saying don’t let it love this, make it hate this.
Who gets to set the public safety standards? You see where this is going, don't you?
Yep
You got it
What if someone ran the roadblock. Do the tests then become involuntary???
The courts do. And they have. Repeatedly. In decision after decision. There is ample case law on this exact issue.
Do you know what happens when the cops see you turn and around and speed off to avoid a (voluntary or not) roadblock?
Yes it is obvious
It is a dilemma if you box conservatives into a definition that is flawed.
A flawed definition that has it’s roots in the brainwashed liberal mentality that you project.
You have no clue.
Yeah, and I’m sure they didn’t take down your license plate number.
“Don’t tell me not to respond when others have responded.”
I was not trying to tell you what to do. I was merely pointing out that it CRAVES this, and now WE are infighting. I believe that was its goal. Do you see that it is REALLY dividing all of us?
IT MUST BE STOPPED!
This is all that is needed to conduct pursue and detain such a motorist.
