This same thing happened in Fort Worth last month...

North Texas Drivers Stopped at Roadblock Asked for Saliva, Blood

[circlecity]

I’ve got a bridge to sell anyone who believes this is just a study on highway safety.

[basil]

Anyone who allows this is a bit off in the head!

[null and void]

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

[ZULU]

Uh, suppose you just sit thre and refuse to cooperate?

“Although the questioning and cheek swab were voluntary”

Yeah, today................sounds like a trial run for future mandatory screenings to me.

"In the grand scheme of things, I think it's a pretty innocuous and minor issue," Heim said.

Each individual cut isn't so bad. After about 10,000 of them.......

NO. there’s no probable cause. NO

They’re probably testing to know whether people are acquainted with their rights or are so willing to give them up for some ill perceived security. Or if people think that we work for the government, the same peoe who take half our paychecks

New world order at work.

[the OlLine Rebel]

If any aspect of our lives is consistently violated per the Constitution, it relates to traffic and transportation.

Heck with the 5th. Anyone ever hear of the 4th Amendment?

[stanne]

I used to use the expression, ‘hey, it’s a free country’

Not any more. Why would I do that?

[Farmer Dean]

“The questioning was persistant.”
The only proper response would be,am I being detained?
If the answer is no,I drive off.If the answer is yes,I have my lawyer’s number on speed dial.

Pa. town latest to force drivers over and ask for cheek swabs for federal study

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Just get out, drop your pants, bend over, and tell them to swab away.

[arasina]

Zee peppez, bitte.

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

They say the voluntary swabs are “to determine the prevalence of alcohol and drug use by drivers”. That is crazy. Voluntarily is anyone using drugs going to submit to the test? So that would make the resulting test numbers (sampling)totally invalid.

[RC one]

This kind of fascist dehumanization and desensitization is incredibly harmful to a free society especially when coupled with dismal economic realities. I have never seen someone have a psychological breakdown due to having too much freedom and economic prosperity. As such, is it any wonder Americans are freaking out and going on shooting rampages all over the country? And yet they still blame Republicans for their misfortunes? Wake up America.

These are folks dealing with checkpoints well IN the US .... you might find it interesting, how they (drivers) handled the situation. I would think the same would apply to these ‘surveys’ and ‘requests’ for DNA swabs.

[Iron Munro]

I'd give them a cheek swab alright !!!

[Madame Dufarge]

Only a born slave would submit to this.
