Gee, it's not like people driving on the interstate have any place to they have to be or anything. I hope everyone inconvenienced by these a-holes sends the state a bill for their time, and sues if they don't receive payment.

Amendment IX: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Public land is just that - public. It is NOT the state's private property. The state is not a private property owner, and has no authority to act as such.
Point #1: If the state is required to build it then any further "opinion" doesn't even matter.
Point #2: If it is to begin by Nov '03, they should be getting bids on the work, and engineers should be looking at the infrastructure and construction requirements (at this rate, it won't start until 2005)...
Point # Last but not least: THIS IS NOT A PROPER FUNCTION OF A STATE CONSTITUTION. If the Floriduh government fails in meeting this mandate then every unelected official should be fired and every elected offical automatically thrown out of office.
All open (unelected) jobs should be filled through normal job applications/resumes instead of the 'insider connection' hiring for friends and family.
That's right. Public land belongs to the state. The state is the public. We people are private citizens. Maybe it's different in a commonwealth, probably even clearer. A private citizen has only the enumerated rights once he is off his own property, and even there he is not perfectly free to do anything he wants. Driving is a privilege, as they say, but walking on the public road is also a privilege. The government can order you off the street at any time because they own it and you don't.
Just don't answer the questions. They may be able to pull you over legally but they can't legally ask you personal questions (or ANY questions) without an attorney present. Unless you waive the right to remain silent.
Or does Miranda not apply to survey questions?

The amendent for the train passed. The corresponding amendment for it's funding failed. Oops.
Not that I like it, but even if they ask the questions, I'm sure you could just refuse to answer.
Well, youre right.
After Ive been ordered by the armed agents of the state to interrupt my perfectly legal use of public roads, and detained by those agents for an indeterminate amount of time, against my will and accused of no wrong-doing, I could refuse to answer the intrusive questions on their marketing survey.
I guess theyd just give the interior of my car a quick once-over, or just ask to see my "papers", and then maybe let me go at the point. If they felt like it. Or maybe they'd run a few checks, to try to determine what this troublemaker is trying to hide.
