Not mentioned is whether they got your name, etc.

The car has a license plate. Just capture that number and look it up in the state's database.

OK nully, where is that picture from? Too freaking cool. I want some specs like that.

City Police Chief William M. Heim said the two federal agencies are trying to see what can be done about crashes and injuries,...Take the illegals off the road in that shiitehole and make the blacks PARK instead of taking up the only lane available to bullshit and sell drugs, you got a pretty good start. This Heim, from all I can see, is a big government JBT. He’s well thought of, but has bigger aspirations.

A lot of us in TX emailed our AG Greg Abbott, he called the PD, who said they wouldn’t do it again. PA folks, try contacting your AG.

Put me on The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List, or you WILL be reported to the Mods.

Good point!

The prescription drugs taken by motorists, as prescribed by their doctors, is none of the business of this dirtbag “police chief” William M. Heim, or the so-called National Highway Traffic “Safety” Administration.

singing to the choir…but the chief is still a moron… a cheek swab will not tell what Rx you are taking

If someone is driving erratically, get them off the road. Otherwise leave the citizens alone.

Your terms are acceptable </Edgar the Bug>

Uh...once they have the swab, they have the dna.

Which is why you politely resist, stand on your constitutional rights, and don't give them the swab.

I know Pennsylvania.

I live in Pennsylvania.

And Philadelphia ain’t no Pennsylvania.

That hell hole belongs to New Jersey now. And it’s full of tyranny.

FTA: Council members also were upset, and said if local police are there, it appears they are operating the checkpoint.

If the PD is engaged in this stuff (not the word I first typed), clearly they have too much free time and/or free staff.

Cut their budget in half. If it still doesn’t stop, cut it in half again. [Repeat as necessary.]

I saw my first Homeland Security SUV today while I was driving on 35W just south of Minneapolis.

The “sobriety” checkpoints are in all fifty-seven states, of course.

I was directly referring to factual accounts of DNA seizures.

[DoughtyOne]

Good.

I had forgotten about that one. Foreigners who “don’t know” that we have freedom of religion here can’t be blamed for committing violence on people exercising freedom of religion...

So the judge, to boil this down to the essence, said that ignorance of the law *is* an excuse. Huh?

” Never should our trusted law enforcement agents be put in the situation where they violate the rights of Missourians. “

Who says that law enforcement agents are trusted?
