I guess what I ultimately want to ask you freedom fighters is, If the police have no right to stop...well according to you guys...anyone or ask for I.D., then how are traffic stops at all legal? If an offficer asks for license registration and proof of insurance is illegal, why does it happen all over the U.S. on a dialy basis? I don't know the answers so please respond with facts. Don't tell me cause the government is corrupt, give me a real answer.
@seaspirit27 good luck with that, none of these people understand the constitution, what an amendment is or how law or even basic principle of how this country works...
@seaspirit27 Good Lord you are an idiot. They stop THOSE drivers because they have commited a traffic infraction dumb ass !!! These people are just driving down the road and are randomly stopped. If you cant see the problem with that KOMRADE then you a waste of air ....asshole .
@seaspirit27: I never said they can;t stop... Nevertheless.
The Supreme Court, in the cases known as "Terry" and "Hiibel", has recognized that officers almost always need the be investigating criminal activity before they can stop and question someone (Terry), or require that he identify himself (Hiibel).
Please read these two cases for a better understanding of our right to go about our days without having to prove that we are not violating the law on demand.
@Pafoofnik1 See we live in a representative democracy, and the massive epidemic of drunk driving related deaths and accidents of the 70s and 80s led people to demand something be done about it. Those representatives we elected came up with the DUI checkpoint system. It was challenged as unconstitutional, it went to the supreme court and was deemed NOT unconstitutional. How can you use one supreme court case to further your point and dismiss another that completely destroys it?
@Pafoofnik1 and it is unbelievable to me that you people make this big of a deal out of 5 minutes of your time to stop a real problem. AND IT IS A REAL PROBLEM. And it says directly in the CONSTITUTION which was AMENDED to give you those BILL OF RIGHTS that you people keep quoting that the SUPREME COURT DECIDES the law of the land.
@dtm01 its random stops, the fact that its every 5th is to prevent anyone from saying its profiling. Now are they searching the vehicles? I don't think so. Do you have the right to say nothing....yes. If a cop is behind you and turns on his lights are you gonna drive on cause you don't think you did anything wrong? Its the same concept, if it was so illegal there are real lawyers who would take up the case but since its not of course police continue.
@digilary I dont drink . Im a diabetic....so I guess every 5th driver is a moron asshole out to kill you. Idiot faggot .Youre just not tht important .
@dgillary Im 6 ft tall and weigh 185 , hardly a fatty you piece of shit. Big enough to rip your face off and shit down the hole dirtbag .....Just exercising my 1st amendment here .....
@seaspirit27 Go fuck yourself asshole.....My Father was awarded 2 Purple Hearts in WW2 fighting the Nazis .....it all starts with the freedom to come and go , then the books, then the guns ......etc....go shit in your hat jerkoff !!!
@dtm01 moron..... you have no right to endanger other peoples lives.... what about my right to drive and not have some asshole like you smash into me?
@dtm01 good for your dad, but what war did you fight in or are you riding his coat tails? who is stopping anyone from coming or going? they are asking if they had anything to drink. if you don't want to answer then don't. all i was talking about were dui stops, i totally believe peole should have guns. so go fly off the handle with someone else, if profanity is the only way to respond then i pity you.
@dtm01 ask a holocaust suvivor what he thinks about you calling the police nazis. Don't be silly, Nazis put people in gas chambers and forced them to work and killed people on a whim. Is that whats going on here? No, don't talk about the U.S. like that especially as an American. Bud you act so high an dmighty cause the "Man" allows you to. Be greatful you don't live somewhere where you would be shot for disagreeing with authorities. And leave the U.S. if you can't stand it anymore.
This video is stupid and the guy filming it has nothing better to do. What a moron. Quit harassing police officers and go do something productive for society
Its disgusting.. ....and its happening all over the country. Once you've had one of these damn cops stopping you and you were not doing anything wrong but going home---you'll understand how it feels. Damn American Soviet system hard at work!
Get ready folks. This will be the norm 24/7. Its all in a effort to keep you "Safe". I would suggest you grow a long beard,get a tan,and learn the Koran by heart. The police wont touch you.
if these pigs are so concerned with "public safety" then why aren't they testing people in the bar parking lot BEFORE they have a chance to become a danger? answer.... theres no money in that approach.
@liljgoneman They can't do that because the owner of the bar can tell them they are not welcome....We are not quite to that point yet...remember, in Nazi Germany it started off like this with few people realizing the beatings, the deceit, and then the ovens came later!
@dgillary I hate brainwashed ideologies like you have within your head. Read the 4th amendment...NO search and seizure WITHOUT probable cause and IF there is probable cause YOU MUST HAVE A WARRANT...where is the probable cause here? How do we know who is driving under the influence? DO you claim to be a God or KING? Nazis
@Marksnotebook uhh no. Okay? How does me saying comparing this to the Nazis means I support it? Dumb fuck. My point was the Nazis would of dragged your big mouth out of the car and shot you. IT IS NOT THE SAME. And FYI since your mr bill of rights, read the constitution and what it says about the supreme court and its responsibility and better yet WHAT AN AMENDMENT IS MORON.
@Marksnotebook dude its about people not getting plowed into by a drunk idiot. So if they stopped, and suddenly there was a rise in deaths caused by DUI who would you blame....the govt. cause americans want their cake and eat it too. seriously though if anyone you know got killed in a DUI would you honestly feel the same? No officer i've had nothing to drink, here is my license. your on your way whats so hard? they aren't asking for them to search the car or even get out to be searched.
@Marksnotebook YOUR PROBABILITY OF KILLING ANOTHER PERSON IS THE DEFINITION OF A REASONABLE SEARCH ASSHAT. Talk to the supreme court if you do not like it, they kinda have a role in the constitution too. Oh and feel free to leave.
@liljgoneman ? How would that make less money? Cops do sit outside bars, then the bar owner goes to the city council and complains, and they stop. Go to a council meeting and complain about checkpoints, if enough people do they will stop. As they started from people going and complaining about DRUNK DRIVERS KILLING PEOPLE. And around and around we will go.
@liljgoneman real good, if you get hurt or attacked who are you gonna call. The reason they don't check people leaving bars is because that would be considered entrapment. There are so many legal loop holes for murdering dui people to get off whats so bad about stopping and showing your drivers license if it may save a life.
@seaspirit27 cops dont need to be doing shit like this to law abiding citizens. does it mean that cops should be able to do whatever they want without any reasonable suspicion just because we throw tax money at them?
4th Amendment: 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.
I do not drink and drive and do not condone it, but all these checkpoints do is bring in money for the local Governments PERIOD, The auto by itself is a very dangerous tool ( pollution, obesity, the need for oil {wars,profiteirs} the killing of living creatures{human,animal} and the use of salt in the winter has rendered the great lakes part salt-water) and has no "safty" like the much used analogy with the "loaded" gun...the auto is much more danerous because it is seen as a innocent bystander
Police are NOT obliged to protect or honor your rights, they will most always cross that line when they can get away with it. Its only a rights violation when one properly addresses it.
The "law makers" can write anything they like, its only by your consent that it becomes law to govern you.
In 3 states, Maryland being one of them, it is now illegal to film the police while in the comission of thier duties, people who do so are charged with a FELONY bs wiretapping law, this is no longer the home of the brave and the land of the free, we are losing our rights every day and we had better band together and do something before we are no longer able to even talk about it.
@meattube4u33 I am not a lawyer & this is just my opinion. This is not legal advice, so one must do his own research.
FELONY as defined in Blacks Law #8 = serious crime. Crime being the operative word, and is defined as causing injury and/or harm. The state would be burdened with proving corpus delicti. Also one must understand that while in the public, one does not have an expectation of privacy.
Man-made law is only applicable to and by the consent of the governed.
It seems to be an intimidation tactic, to install fear in those who choose to hold law enforcement accountable and to make a record of a PUBLIC event. Those "laws" are only meant to limit the evidence of police wrongdoing.
In-spite of the fear of a felony charge, I truly don't see any grand jury issuing an indictment, unless its convened on Christmas eve when they have more shopping left to do.
Question is: What is one willing to endure, to protect his rights?
Checkpoints are unconstitutional fascist BS. I never drink and drive, I never break the law and these Nazi Skanks do not have the right to stop me or harass me in any way.
5 Star Commentating My Friend !!! Gave me a good laugh. Funny thing is I went through one of these in broad day light and he was waving us on as he does so in this video and then abruptly stopped me as i was passing him. i at the time had no clue why or what was going on but apparently i was car #5... Sad thing is they tried and tried to nail me with something and after numerous failures they let me go but not before giving me a 150 dollar seatbelt ticket all cause i was car #5
I support DUI checkpoints 110%....For every 1 drunk driver that is taken off the road...1 or more lives are saved. Heck it could be your life or a family members life that is saved, but we'll never know.
@Pafoofnik1 Follow my wishes? I am not forcing anything on you. I said I support them and you said you don't; that's cool. I don't interpret a DUI check point as being "unconstitutional" and you do; okay great. I don't mind talking to an officer for 10 seconds and you do; perfectly fine. Again, I am not forcing anything on you. The real question is, what are YOU, as an ordinary citizen, going to do about these "unconstitutional" checkpoints? Hopefully not just reply to Youtube comments all day.
@Pafoofnik1 Sorry, maybe I was confused. I was under the impression because you supported the video, you supported the message it was trying to portray that DUI checkpoints are "unconstitutional."
@cg257: No worries. I don't agree with any type of general checkpoint because it goes against the concept of 'innocent until proven guilty'. However, I also understand that the Supreme Court agrees with me... except for DUI (and certain border area) checkpoints.
So I disagree with them, but realize that they are currently considered to be constitutional.
@cg257 YOu are a misinformed fool, listen to pafoonik he's compeltely right. Also not every one the drives "drunk" gets killed or kills someone for every perosn they take off it is not one live saved dumb ass. Don't preach that mind control propaganda.
@Kmagnus80 Me and pafoonik agree on most of this subject, maybe you should read our conversation again. Secondly, until you have a family member get killed from a drunk driver you will never understand my support of DUI checkpoints. Maybe you should do some real research yourself and not rely on "Youtube research."
@cg257 I'm very sorry for your presumed loss that is horrible thing and I hope you got some sort of justice however little that may help. But I guess what I am considering is the slippery slope that this creates thats all. This power is unconstitutional, it may be noble in it's intent but intent is often lost and warped by people over time. I didn't do you tube reasearch, I just know that not everybody that drives drunk gets killed or kills someone, your comment was a little misleading.
@Kmagnus80 Thank you for your condolence. Again this is all personal interpretation of the law. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled this type of checkpoint constitutional. This is why I say its constitutional. Before you enter a checkpoint there is a sign saying there is a check point ahead. If you do not want to enter the checkpoint you are given an opportunity to turn off the road. If you decide you want to go through the checkpoint you are consenting to a brief personal seizure.
@cg257 Oh that is very interesting, not that i still think it's 100 percent OK but that makes it a lot better. I was under the impression that if a police were to see that they would assume you were being evasive, kinda like if someone were to run from the cops, even if the cops had a legal reason or not they would be consdiered that probable cause. Even if it weren't probable cause, all it take is for a single light out or whatever they want to say and that is there probable cause.
@Kmagnus80 Yes you are correct that the police can still pull you over even if you decide to pull off the road and take the detour but like you said they need probable cause to do so. According to the SC ruling they cannot pull you over just because you did not want to commit to the checkpoint. They need PC like burnt out tail light or what have you. They call this a pretextual stop were they pull you over with PC but investigate another possible crime. Again constitutional (Whren v U.S)
@cg257 Which is kinda messed up (pretextual stops) but Ill pick my battles, and take the good with the bad, I also understand it;'s importance. These stops are sneaky though whats stopping police from setting one up where a U-turn or another detour is inaccesible, then you are stuck which i think is wrong.
@Kmagnus80 If there was no accessible detour available then the checkpoint would be deemed unconstitutional. A few things MUST (according to the SC) be present in order for a DUI checkpoint to be constitutional. First, police must inform drivers within a reasonable distance from the checkpoint that a checkpoint is setup and you will have to stop. Secondly, police must allow a detour from the checkpoint. If you decide to go to the checkpoint you have given consent for a brief seizure.
i disagree with DUI checkpoints for the mere fact that they are an inconvenience, but there is no "constitutionality" involved. state governments have the right to enforce and ensure public safety, DUI checkpoints being one of these measures. I'm assuming they do it "randomly," or in this case, every fifth car, so that they cannot be accused of discrimination. however, although they can ask for liscence since you are driving a vehicle, one can refuse a search. they are bullshit though.
@cg257: That agrees with the court decisions regarding DUI roadblocks, I think. Officers are required to stop every x number of vehicles in order to lower the chances of profiling. The number used for x can be 1.
HERE IS A TIP ON CHECKPOINTS: You don't have to go through. By law at every checkpoint there will be a sign first, and then right at that sign you will have one chance to make a legal right turn and avoid going through. Now there will be almost no time to react (they count on that), but you can make the turn, I have done it many times. Just be sure you signal and don't break any laws turning. And there will be a motor officer there. But he is just there to intimidate you.

Who actually wants to grow up and wants to be a bitchass cop?!!!....wut a waste of tax money. how come you never see them in the most ghetto neighborhoods. hu?? scared little pansies, they never go to them, they wait until they fall for them trap...u gotta sign some oat to the devil to get dat kind of job
Great point to your video....but let's not forget that family's lives are taken each day by drunk drivers...and driving is a privilege not a right....a car is a lethal weapon....too many idiots have ruined it for everyone, I don't like the concept of Checkpoints....but if it keeps people from drinking and driving and threatening peoples lives, a Checkpoint on the holidays or a random weekend isn't that bad....now if they did it everyday on every street corner then I'd be worried about the 4th a
This is an untrue statement. Driving is a right. We as a nation have decided that driving on certain public roads require the possession of a license indicating proficiency in controlling the listed vehicle.
Possession of this license is a right, once the holder demonstrates the abilities listed on the license. The license cannot be rescinded without just cause.
@Pafoofnik1 I see your point to that we have a right to drive. What I should of said: when you do get that drivers liscense it's a HUGE responsibility that you consent too (control a operating veichle safely). Now cause of the "irresponsible" drivers, we have to go thru this. But statics show that chekpnts reduce fatalities on the holidays. This is the very first time I seen a checkpnt that allowed 4 of 5 cars to pass unchecked. For at least a second they usually hand out literature and detect.
@Pafoofnik1 Well I'm glad you disagree with me on some things cause that's what keeps this country strong, different perspectives from free men is always a very good thing. You wanna see our rights gets violated go to checkpointUSA YouTube channel and you'll see what violation of constitutional rights are....sickening!
This always amazes me how we allow all of us to be herded like sheep. How do DUI check points exist? NO PROBABLE CAUSE to stop you. The police need a reason to pull you over on the road, but can stop you for no reason at a “CHECK POINT”? I live in the SF bay area and have never been through one and hope I never do. But if I do, I’m going to ask if they have probable cause to stop me. “HALT! DO YOUZ HAZ VE’YOUR PAP’AZ”?
Drivers license what a farce! All those things are just something to make you bend over. Now if you Lois your job you don't pay for insurance (a private enterprise) the state takes your license. Drive anyway and they take your life for awhile. Some of you say GOOD! You are the the problem. Freedom is your right. You people act like it's a gift to be taken back at a whim. That's why humans have DOGs. (For control).
Uh, ok...well, do some homework on freedom of speach, and if you were being a smart ass, oops, I did it again, I cussed....uh ohhh I have offended you yet again haven't I.....wow...nothing better to do huh?
Uh, ok...well, do some homework on freedom of speach, and if you were being a smart ass, oops, I did it again, I cussed....uh ohhh I have offended you yet again haven't I.....wow...nothing better to do huh?
It's totally legal and they do in fact pull over vehicles that might have been let go if they see any suspicious activity. They ask for your license, and legally if you are driving a vehicle you must present it. Nothing unconstitutional/illegal about it. If you don't have one you have in fact broken the law and are suspect to search. If there are signs of alcoholic beverages via sight/smell then they have probable cause to check. Nothing hard to understand about this.
@alijw The 5th car didn't get searched unless the driver didn't have a license or there seemed to be under the influence. Both of which are crimes and legally gives them the right to search you. If you present a legal license/aren't under the influence you are free to go, it usually doesn't take more then 10 seconds after handing the officer your ID. Why you would want unlicensed/drunk drives on the road is puzzling to me.
They do random cars to eliminate any complaints someone would have about discrimination. This way no one can say "it's because of the car i drive", "it's because i look illegal", or "because I'm black" or any excuses that may vary.
How in the fuck do they know 1-4 arent fuckin shitfaced they dont even make them roll down there windows, this is harrassement, just like there routine checkups
@gunzrkewl - the trouble is that, while DUI checkpoints are no longer challenged as "unwarranted search or seisure" it is purely because the citizens tolerate it. If the citizenry feels that a no warrant search of your home is going to keep them safe (e.g. from terrorism) then such searches will be tolerated as well (and therefore no longer challenged constitutionally). Are you comfortable with that possibility? Are there other rights you are willing to relinquish to be safe?
"HAVE to announce that they are doing checkpoints in the media before they do them...They are keeping DRUNK DRIVERS off of the road!!!"
What would keep the drink driver from avoiding this check points. This may be "legal" but totally unconstitutional. If they check for DWI they should check "ALL" drivers! The way their doing it 4 DWI's could escape being checked. Real good they check a sunday school teacher for DWI and let 4 drunks go on by!
Good Job Man!! It's all a disguise, but fortunely we have a number of people like yourself who can see past the end of thier fucking nose. But thanks to the Media, Food Additives, Religion and Forced Medication that number is fading fast. And to the Fanatics who say God tells us to obey the Govt, Go Fuck yourself !!!
Are you serious??? Dude...They are doing thier jobs, and yes it is constitutional for them to do so, they HAVE to announce that they are doing checkpoints in the media before they do them...They are keeping DRUNK DRIVERS off of the road!!! Would you rather them just let the dumb fucks of the world drive around blitzed out of thier minds killing innocent people??? Better yet...Killing children!!! It has NOTHING to do with having a drivers licence or not, learn the laws before you judge!!
This is bullshit. 4th amendment rights are being violated. Michigan vs. Sitz was a decision that was railed by the supreme court in order to make a buck. This government is corrupt! The net effect of sobriety checkpoints on traffic safety is infinitesimal and possibly negative. Way to go justice system!!!
We can never find justice at the hands of corrupt judges. (See youtube videos) Judge To Judge On Illegal_Payments To Judges---Evil Triangle of Court Corruption---Richard Fine---Dr shirley Moore---SBX 211. Now is the time to be heard. The fight to end this title wave of corruption in our country must start with the corrupt judges. Show your support now or wait untill your fate is at the hands of corrupt judges. SBX211 is unconstitutional
This commentator is a total idiot. This check point was set up and followed according to proper guidelines. As long as they have a set pattern as to who gets stopped there is no violation You can thank you legislators for this, they are the ones that put nutty guideline like this in
This geek filming would know what his constitutional right were if they hit him in his head.
@freemanbrook thats fine.. i can smoke al i want and not kill anyone and dui get hanged fine with me.. well american mindset cant handle the drunk driver anyway they all off in lalaland watching dvds and shit while they are driving fucking pisses me off
The reason they only pull the 5th car is because they have to. The limits placed on checkpoints state that there must be a pattern to avoid profiling...that means every car must be checked or every third or fifth. I don't like the idea of checkpoints but that is the reason for it.
@MasterDonny1 ha forever and ever, all they want is money man, they can care less about safety , you send them money watch how quick the shut the fuck up .. but untill the next bullshit charge they trump you with,,..
these are very legel and as to you car while driving it on public roads you DO NOT have all the protections from the 4th amendment and the suprem court has rule on this
@swatcapt11 only from a corrupt policy overwrite.. you pull them all over or NONE.. that is the deal .. fucking morons are just showing off what is too come, and checkpoints in america.... if it isnt arounda borderland than why..? that Is unconstitutional, fuck whatever highhorsed supremacist judge rules on personal feeling and his own knowledge his ruling could change a sector of society. not on the fucking law. so you have them testing their martial law in scrbble scrabble lawyer documents
@swatcapt11 and the government should not be involved in my fucking driving activities whatsoever, while the police are swerving all ove rthe palce nearly hitting cars people looking at scanner or wahtever else.. they are just like us on a powertrip and government perks, they dont do it to fucking help anyone but themselves. they will let a high speeder go that cant catch and pull the stragglers behind, everyone hypes them up.. they are dumb as shit and the proof is right there on that badge
@freemanbrook The problem with that is that police officers will lie about someone failing a field sobriety test or try to get dui charges to stick to an undeserving person because they have quotas to meet.
Thats why its unconstitutional, to protect citizens from cops.
Do they DEPORT illegal aliens at checkpoints? NO. Do these checkpoints violate 4th amendment? YES. Los Angeles made $40 MILLION DOLLARS from Checkpoints in 2009 and DIVIDE THE MONEY with TowTruck Companies. Police staff only officers who qualify for overtime 24,000 CARS IMPOUNDED, ONLY 3,200 DUI ARRESTS MADE! Checkpoints CAN AND WILL AFFECT YOU... EVEN if you are NOT DRINKING! GOOGLE THIS: "Car seizures at DUI checkpoints prove profitable for cities, raise legal questions" for more information.
@whiteandnerdy369 haha kind of like the bullies in grade school walking around swinging there arms and telling the smaller children that if they get hit, it's their own fault lol
Oh, yes, PLEASE - Let me give up ALL my constitutional rights - just PLEASE - KEEP ME SAFE, MY BELOVED GOVERNMENT!! Oh, my LOVING government keeping me safe! Forget the fact that LA has made 30 MILLION dollars in 2009 and split the money with tow-truck companies off of DUI checkpoints. Hey, I LOVE the PATRIOT ACT - take away MORE rights to keep me "SAFE". Forget that the Fed's dropped the nationwide .15 BAC in half to .08 so they could make MORE money off DUI's.
@jon1151 WHAT?! I had to google that for myself. DUI 0.08% or higher, DWAI which is .05 to .07. Amazing. .05 is One-half of one-onethousands of a percent. That is an incredibly miniscule amount of acohol. They say the fines and penalties are just has "hefty" as a dui. So basically, Colorado DOES have a DUI level of .05. Driving while TIRED or FATIGUED is a far more common and greater problem than DUI is. But will they have checkpoints for that? Nope. Will they enforce immigration? Nope. Tyrants
@mrjustin5 they can still give you a mini dui if you are under.. the truth is zero tolerance.. the little leeway as an illusion for stupid people that are stupid enough to drink too much anyway
@mrjustin5 Judging by your use of capital letters, I'm glad to see you're passionate about law. Have you done anything about your dissatisfaction in the 4 months that you've posted this, or did you just sit your fat lazy ass on a couch, eating potato chips, while pissing and moaning on youtube?
Your an idiot. Asking to see an ID has nothing to do with your search and seizure rights. as stated by JCanada92227 you are required to present you ID at any time while operating a motor vehicle. It dose not infringe on any of your rights.
@swat3050: "you are required to present you ID at any time while operating a motor vehicle."
Depends on the state. Fer example, in my state, I am required to display my license if requested by a law enforcement agent, if I have it. I cannot be prosecuted if I do not have it with me when stopped.
Additionally, I believe there is also a statute that requires reasonable suspicion before I can be stopped in the first place.
@swat3050 Incorrect, the federal courts have ruled the the interior of your vehicle and its contents are private property. Also you do NOT need to present ID to an officer unless you are being detained in relation to a crime. While we're at it, you do NOT need a drivers license to travel. This has been proven over and over in federal court. You obviously dont know your rights and how they are defined according to the law.
You are required by law to present a valid drivers license at ANY TIME while operating a motor vehicle. Period.
These traffic stops are posted in the newspaper and locations are available if you call the local law enforcement office. You are not forced through the checkpoint. COMPLETELY CONSTITUTIONAL.
@JCanada92227 wrong, they do NOT post DUI check points ahead of time. Wrong again no drivers license is needed unless you are engaging in commerce. "avoiding a check point" by turning around gives them "probable cause" to stop the vehicle. These road blocks are commonly set up where U turns are illegal on the road. If you think these are not already being fought in court your sadly mistaken and need to do some homework.
Actually, you're wrong JCanada92227. You may want to reference the Supreme Court case Delaware V Prouse for a primer. You'd think someone working on a criminal justice degree would have a better grasp of basic concepts such as this.
How is this in any way unconstitutional? You are aware that these people have been warned beforehand and they have other ways to get to where they need to be. They aren't forced to go through the checkpoint. So in essence they have given consent by driving down that particular road. It's their fault if they don't read up on things going on in town.
what is disgusting are the people that think this is right. they think just because they throw up 'sobriety' checkpoint. and you are against it, that you are FOR drunk driving. And others wonder why you would protest something like this, that you are actually giving the cop a hard time. some people are so twisted everywhich way that they no longer have an opinion. they just bend over and take it up the a55
@friedie1jeff So after watching one 4 minute video from this user, you can make the assumption that this guy has a lot of time on his hands? Get real.
No constitutional violation - Thank the conservatives on the Supreme Court of this one. I think Stevens wrote the dissent in this case, maybe it was Brennan.
you are stupid. they are checking RANDOMLY, they don't assume when they pull them over.

I guess what I ultimately want to ask you freedom fighters is, If the police have no right to stop...well according to you guys...anyone or ask for I.D., then how are traffic stops at all legal? If an offficer asks for license registration and proof of insurance is illegal, why does it happen all over the U.S. on a dialy basis? I don't know the answers so please respond with facts. Don't tell me cause the government is corrupt, give me a real answer.

@dtm01 its random stops, the fact that its every 5th is to prevent anyone from saying its profiling. Now are they searching the vehicles? I don't think so. Do you have the right to say nothing....yes. If a cop is behind you and turns on his lights are you gonna drive on cause you don't think you did anything wrong? Its the same concept, if it was so illegal there are real lawyers who would take up the case but since its not of course police continue.

FELONY as defined in Blacks Law #8 = serious crime. Crime being the operative word, and is defined as causing injury and/or harm. The state would be burdened with proving corpus delicti. Also one must understand that while in the public, one does not have an expectation of privacy.

@cg257 I'm very sorry for your presumed loss that is horrible thing and I hope you got some sort of justice however little that may help.

I didn't do you tube reasearch, I just know that not everybody that drives drunk gets killed or kills someone, your comment was a little misleading.
Kmagnus80 9 months ago
@Kmagnus80 Thank you for your condolence. Again this is all personal interpretation of the law. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled this type of checkpoint constitutional. This is why I say its constitutional. Before you enter a checkpoint there is a sign saying there is a check point ahead. If you do not want to enter the checkpoint you are given an opportunity to turn off the road. If you decide you want to go through the checkpoint you are consenting to a brief personal seizure.
cg257 9 months ago
@cg257 Oh that is very interesting, not that i still think it's 100 percent OK but that makes it a lot better. I was under the impression that if a police were to see that they would assume you were being evasive, kinda like if someone were to run from the cops, even if the cops had a legal reason or not they would be consdiered that probable cause. Even if it weren't probable cause, all it take is for a single light out or whatever they want to say and that is there probable cause.
Kmagnus80 9 months ago
@Kmagnus80 Yes you are correct that the police can still pull you over even if you decide to pull off the road and take the detour but like you said they need probable cause to do so. According to the SC ruling they cannot pull you over just because you did not want to commit to the checkpoint. They need PC like burnt out tail light or what have you. They call this a pretextual stop were they pull you over with PC but investigate another possible crime. Again constitutional (Whren v U.S)
cg257 9 months ago
@cg257 Which is kinda messed up (pretextual stops) but Ill pick my battles, and take the good with the bad, I also understand it;'s importance. These stops are sneaky though whats stopping police from setting one up where a U-turn or another detour is inaccesible, then you are stuck which i think is wrong.
Kmagnus80 9 months ago
@Kmagnus80 If there was no accessible detour available then the checkpoint would be deemed unconstitutional. A few things MUST (according to the SC) be present in order for a DUI checkpoint to be constitutional. First, police must inform drivers within a reasonable distance from the checkpoint that a checkpoint is setup and you will have to stop. Secondly, police must allow a detour from the checkpoint. If you decide to go to the checkpoint you have given consent for a brief seizure.
cg257 9 months ago
i disagree with DUI checkpoints for the mere fact that they are an inconvenience, but there is no "constitutionality" involved. state governments have the right to enforce and ensure public safety, DUI checkpoints being one of these measures. I'm assuming they do it "randomly," or in this case, every fifth car, so that they cannot be accused of discrimination. however, although they can ask for liscence since you are driving a vehicle, one can refuse a search. they are bullshit though.

HERE IS A TIP ON CHECKPOINTS: You don't have to go through. By law at every checkpoint there will be a sign first, and then right at that sign you will have one chance to make a legal right turn and avoid going through. Now there will be almost no time to react (they count on that), but you can make the turn, I have done it many times. Just be sure you signal and don't break any laws turning. And there will be a motor officer there. But he is just there to intimidate you.

@RAIDERMIKETHEREALIST said: "driving is a privilege not a right."
This is an untrue statement. Driving is a right. We as a nation have decided that driving on certain public roads require the possession of a license indicating proficiency in controlling the listed vehicle.
Possession of this license is a right, once the holder demonstrates the abilities listed on the license. The license cannot be rescinded without just cause.
Pafoofnik1 1 year ago
@Pafoofnik1 I see your point to that we have a right to drive. What I should of said: when you do get that drivers liscense it's a HUGE responsibility that you consent too (control a operating veichle safely). Now cause of the "irresponsible" drivers, we have to go thru this. But statics show that chekpnts reduce fatalities on the holidays. This is the very first time I seen a checkpnt that allowed 4 of 5 cars to pass unchecked. For at least a second they usually hand out literature and detect.

But if I do, I’m going to ask if they have probable cause to stop me. “HALT! DO YOUZ HAZ VE’YOUR PAP’AZ”?

It's totally legal and they do in fact pull over vehicles that might have been let go if they see any suspicious activity. They ask for your license, and legally if you are driving a vehicle you must present it. Nothing unconstitutional/illegal about it. If you don't have one you have in fact broken the law and are suspect to search. If there are signs of alcoholic beverages via sight/smell then they have probable cause to check. Nothing hard to understand about this.

@alijw The 5th car didn't get searched unless the driver didn't have a license or there seemed to be under the influence. Both of which are crimes and legally gives them the right to search you. If you present a legal license/aren't under the influence you are free to go, it usually doesn't take more then 10 seconds after handing the officer your ID. Why you would want unlicensed/drunk drives on the road is puzzling to me.

@gunzrkewl - the trouble is that, while DUI checkpoints are no longer challenged as "unwarranted search or seisure" it is purely because the citizens tolerate it. If the citizenry feels that a no warrant search of your home is going to keep them safe (e.g. from terrorism) then such searches will be tolerated as well (and therefore no longer challenged constitutionally). Are you comfortable with that possibility? Are there other rights you are willing to relinquish to be safe?

The reason they only pull the 5th car is because they have to. The limits placed on checkpoints state that there must be a pattern to avoid profiling...that means every car must be checked or every third or fifth. I don't like the idea of checkpoints but that is the reason for it.

@freemanbrook Just in case you misunderstood, I meant I.D. check points on public streets, not sobriety tests.
arch571332 1 year ago
@freemanbrook The problem with that is that police officers will lie about someone failing a field sobriety test or try to get dui charges to stick to an undeserving person because they have quotas to meet.
Thats why its unconstitutional, to protect citizens from cops.

Do they DEPORT illegal aliens at checkpoints? NO. Do these checkpoints violate 4th amendment? YES. Los Angeles made $40 MILLION DOLLARS from Checkpoints in 2009 and DIVIDE THE MONEY with TowTruck Companies. Police staff only officers who qualify for overtime 24,000 CARS IMPOUNDED, ONLY 3,200 DUI ARRESTS MADE! Checkpoints CAN AND WILL AFFECT YOU... EVEN if you are NOT DRINKING! GOOGLE THIS: "Car seizures at DUI checkpoints prove profitable for cities, raise legal questions" for more information.

The dea says it ok.
the checkpoints are announce a week beforehand, if you're gonna drive through its your fault
there is a sign a block before and an option to turn.
the dea determined that its not a violation.

Oh, yes, PLEASE - Let me give up ALL my constitutional rights - just PLEASE - KEEP ME SAFE, MY BELOVED GOVERNMENT!! Oh, my LOVING government keeping me safe! Forget the fact that LA has made 30 MILLION dollars in 2009 and split the money with tow-truck companies off of DUI checkpoints. Hey, I LOVE the PATRIOT ACT - take away MORE rights to keep me "SAFE". Forget that the Fed's dropped the nationwide .15 BAC in half to .08 so they could make MORE money off DUI's.

dude it's .05 in colorado. its total bullshit
jon1151 1 year ago
@jon1151 WHAT?! I had to google that for myself. DUI 0.08% or higher, DWAI which is .05 to .07. Amazing. .05 is One-half of one-onethousands of a percent. That is an incredibly miniscule amount of acohol. They say the fines and penalties are just has "hefty" as a dui. So basically, Colorado DOES have a DUI level of .05. Driving while TIRED or FATIGUED is a far more common and greater problem than DUI is. But will they have checkpoints for that? Nope. Will they enforce immigration? Nope. Tyrants

@mrjustin5 they can still give you a mini dui if you are under.. the truth is zero tolerance.. the little leeway as an illusion for stupid people that are stupid enough to drink too much anyway

So "Five" was the magic number at this check point. I think I would like to be in the line and let some one be "Five" and see if they let me pass

They are having another one this Friday, Aug 27th.
The ocregister just said it will be on Redhill Ave.
I suspect it will be at Redhill and El Camino Real.
I'd be there again to face the tyrants but I will be out of town with my family.
Maybe someone else can make it...

Your an idiot. Asking to see an ID has nothing to do with your search and seizure rights. as stated by JCanada92227 you are required to present you ID at any time while operating a motor vehicle. It dose not infringe on any of your rights.

@swat3050: "you are required to present you ID at any time while operating a motor vehicle."
Depends on the state. Fer example, in my state, I am required to display my license if requested by a law enforcement agent, if I have it. I cannot be prosecuted if I do not have it with me when stopped.
Additionally, I believe there is also a statute that requires reasonable suspicion before I can be stopped in the first place.
Pafoofnik1 1 year ago
@swat3050 Incorrect, the federal courts have ruled the the interior of your vehicle and its contents are private property. Also you do NOT need to present ID to an officer unless you are being detained in relation to a crime. While we're at it, you do NOT need a drivers license to travel. This has been proven over and over in federal court. You obviously dont know your rights and how they are defined according to the law.
squillyb7718 1 year ago
You are required by law to present a valid drivers license at ANY TIME while operating a motor vehicle. Period.
These traffic stops are posted in the newspaper and locations are available if you call the local law enforcement office. You are not forced through the checkpoint. COMPLETELY CONSTITUTIONAL.

@JCanada92227 wrong, they do NOT post DUI check points ahead of time. Wrong again no drivers license is needed unless you are engaging in commerce. "avoiding a check point" by turning around gives them "probable cause" to stop the vehicle. These road blocks are commonly set up where U turns are illegal on the road. If you think these are not already being fought in court your sadly mistaken and need to do some homework.

Actually, you're wrong JCanada92227. You may want to reference the Supreme Court case Delaware V Prouse for a primer. You'd think someone working on a criminal justice degree would have a better grasp of basic concepts such as this.

How is this in any way unconstitutional? You are aware that these people have been warned beforehand and they have other ways to get to where they need to be. They aren't forced to go through the checkpoint. So in essence they have given consent by driving down that particular road. It's their fault if they don't read up on things going on in town.
shad0wdagger 1 year ago
what is disgusting are the people that think this is right. they think just because they throw up 'sobriety' checkpoint. and you are against it, that you are FOR drunk driving. And others wonder why you would protest something like this, that you are actually giving the cop a hard time. some people are so twisted everywhich way that they no longer have an opinion. they just bend over and take it up the a55
