It's all relative, I suppose.
For those who've never left the nest...the USA...it's SO easy to find fault. We live in cotton wool, safe, secure, snug in our constitution, military, courts, police and ... lawyers (??).
I always say: GO LIVE ABROAD in a 3rd world country for a while and see how their laws and enforcement are.
Maybe then you'll stop whining complaining bellyaching scolding our cops for doing their job.
They have road blocks and sobriety checks here in New Mexico all the time, but I’ve not heard of them giving breathalyzer and blood tests to everyone, just the people who appear to have been drinking or on drugs. When they find out how many people are driving intoxicated at any given time, what are they going to do with the information?
Is that right?
YOU are the arbiter of "increasing....." and "statism"??
How nice.

If you want the truth , it is to raise money for the State. There are other bullshit reasons, but the money issue is the one.
No.
Your moral relativism is ridiculous. Those countries don’t have our Constitution. The Constitution is the standard our laws are weighed against not third-world hell holes. Our Constitution didn’t come without cost either so “luck” has nothing to do with it.
These were not cops. They weren't even Federal agents. They were Federal bureaucrats. Do you have reading comprehension problems?
But a cop who demands your DNA without a warrant isn't abiding by the law--he's violating the law of the land, the Constitution.
If the FWPD had had any morals, they would not have been a party to this travesty. Texas, like most states has fallen very far with it's law enforcement. I remember years ago driving from Ft. Worth to DFW and seeing one of the “early” photo radar units (called Orbis as I recall), standing forlornly in the median, victim of a serious attack by a shotgun! That's the Texas Texans should bring back. Now to see this kind of “citizen retribution,” you have to go to Great Britain where they “set them alight, with a burning tyre.”
As much as I dislike CA where I live, I am beginning to think they will focus on states like TX first for this type of stuff. Maybe TX will get forced implants first...
I have seen whole websites dedicated to destruction of “Gatsos.” Resistance to tyranny is beautiful.
But you seem to have no problem with cops who violate that constitution that you praise so highly.
Also, I have a suspicion that the NHTSA was spreading a little sugar to the FWPD to get them to go along with this. Also, citizens need the names of off duty cops who went along with this violation of Constitutional rights.
Thank you, sir, for the link.
Ping.
