Hey this is an internet forum.
Freerepublic actually used to be a whole lot more fun than it is now. The posters were more colorful and I think of a better quality.
That being said I don’t think that checkpoints are Constitutional, but that is now settled case law. It is instructive to see how the Police subvert the “wiggle” room they have. It is instructive in that clearly giving power to Police, aka checkpoints just leads to more stretching of what is acceptable and legal for them.
My intent in posting this is to educate voters. The case law is settled on checkpoints, the politics is not. Voters influence policy, and they influence local funding decisions.
I was being provocative, and your “spirited” response was much enjoyed ;)
Thank you. I have no problem with spirited debate. I do have a problem with debate skills from others that only amount to name calling.
