ROCKVILLE, MD — Thousands of motorists were brought to a standstill when police conducted a massive roadblock to find three crime suspects. Twelve lanes of traffic were shut down and swarms of armed government agents combed through a giant traffic jam performing warrantless vehicle-to-vehicle searches.
The busy Tuesday morning commute was abruptly halted just after 10:00 a.m. on March 11th. One driver told ABC News that traffic stopped and he witnessed 30 police cars pass on the shoulders of I-270 near Rockville. “Then, when I saw a wall of police officers with automatic weapons approaching our cars, it was apparent that something serious was taking place.”
Police had received intelligence that a local bank had been robbed that morning and the vehicle carrying the 3 suspects had turned onto the interstate highway. A throng of officers from the Rockville, Montgomery County, and Maryland State Police Departments blockaded all lanes of traffic in both directions and began conducting an intense manhunt.
There was “a lot of yelling, a lot of orders being given, helicopters, dogs barking, sirens, police cars driving by,” said eyewitness Carlton Higdon to WJLA.
Miles of cars were stranded and motorists were confined to their vehicles, with no explanation, for over an hour. Confused people exiting their vehicles were met with hostility from the police. WTOP reported that one woman leaned out her door to vomit, she was shouted at by cops to close her door.
“It’s just awful,” motorist Carmel Desroche to WJLA, describing the traffic jam. “I’ve never seen both directions of 270 like this before. It was painful.”

In fact, we should pray for all those who believe this won’t happen HERE because, they are dreadfully WRONG. Inaction, is our eventual peril. Let us LEARN from history, people. It IS true, that those condemned to repeat it are the very one’s who believe this won’t happen HERE.
Jesus warns, that the “battle-cry” has already been sounded for this world. For True Christians, the REAL “test” of our faith has come. For Unbelievers, God will not be mocked.
Let us gather together in the Power of God’s Might, so that we may be victorious over these devils. It is the ONLY choice we could ever make in this life that is WITHOUT REGRET.
Your apology is sincerely accepted, and let me offer my own for any offense I have given.
There is also a certain amount of truth in your characterization of me, as anyone who knows me will be quick to say.
In any case, a happy Saint Patrick’s Day to you and yours.
Pretty much the “emergency” of the day trumps any Constitutional Rights. These enforcement agents(I’m trying to be nice here)—not law enforcement because they are not enforcing law they are breaking it.
Pretty soon everything under the sun will be an “emergency” and there will be no presumption of any Rights to the free citizenry—soon to be subjects there for abuse and use of the government and their minions aka law enforcement.
Police officers this unprofessional, illegal and unethical behavior is turning many supporters of police officers into enemies. If you treat citizens as the the enemy, us vs. them long enough you will get what you want. Here’s the rub there is a hell of a lot more of us than you.
I was an ass.
Happy Saint Patrick Day.
Think of all the other perps you could catch too. It's all good.
