North Texas Drivers Stopped at Roadblock Asked for Saliva, Blood
NBCDFW ^ | November 19, 2013 | Scott Gordon

Posted on 11/19/2013 2:31:36 PM PST by Ken H

Some drivers along a busy Fort Worth street on Friday were stopped at police roadblock and directed into a parking lot, where they were asked by federal contractors for samples of their breath, saliva and even blood.

It was part of a government research study aimed at determining the number of drunken or drug-impaired drivers.

"It just doesn't seem right that you can be forced off the road when you're not doing anything wrong," said Kim Cope, who said she was on her lunch break when she was forced to pull over at the roadblock on Beach Street in North Fort Worth

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is spending $7.9 million on the survey over three years, said participation was "100 percent voluntary" and anonymous.

But Cope said it didn't feel voluntary to her -- despite signs saying it was. "I gestured to the guy in front that I just wanted to go straight, but he wouldn't let me and forced me into a parking spot," she said

An agency spokeswoman sent an email confirming the government is conducting the surveys in 30 cities across the country in an effort to reduce impaired-driving accidents.

SEIU thugs are not armed...”

Well, it’s obvious that you’re not in the field. You can bet your cheerios that these 70 IQ, fat slobs are armed.

They have 1.2 billion rounds of cop-killer bullets that will terrorize stupid conservative wimps.

And stupid conservatives wimps here on FR will believe that an army carrying handguns and 1.2 billion rounds of cop-killer bullets can defeat 80 million patriots armed with rifles.

Fed bullies... just like on the playground, you have to knock ‘em down permanently or they take over the place and start shaking everybody down like happened today.

Take your time. You’ll fit in where and when the Lord needs you. Be ready for the hurricane when we attack hell and the democrats. It will be their last stand.

I wouldn’t have pulled over myself. If it is not an official stop then I have no intention of pulling off my designated route

I am shaking in my readiness to drown them. I think it’s now-er than later. I watch for signs everyday... timing is everything and ‘our’ leaders will signal when ready.

How would you know whether it was official or not?

You are part of the leadership. Lots of people here on FR are unaware of the Lord’s appointment of them to stand before hell and prepare for the coming battle.

Do you know what they can do with these samples? They can run your DNA and register it. They could even have a PRC run for anything. And there is a small risk that a blood test could be falsely positive.
