2008-02-16 Tucson, AZ Checkpoint Part 1/2

[179178]

so, oppland.........u can go fuck your ignorant self

[179178]

would have made my life miserable

[179178]

love the name calling, but let me give u a little hint......the 4th amendment of the U. S. constitution is not observed everywhere you go, i.e. international borders, other countries. You have to follow the rules of that country. i could have put up fight, but, those guys in the robes and funny wigs

[FrickenhausenRocks]

Look closely again at the video...the camera man is not sober...video is blurred, and the driver is all over the road...but the idiot(s) think this stop was "not legal" because they were caught red nosed drunk! Today every idiot with a camera thinks he / se can film whatever he / she wants and then post it like big crying babies on Youtube. WHAAA!!! Here's your diaper!! Lastly, the last few minutes seems to be a CONSTRUCTION ZONE ...

[179178]

The BIG question is-how many drunks were taken off the road before they killed somebody. I drive a truck, and u want to bitch about your rights/ My partner got pulled over,and i was woke up, and told the vacate the sleeper, so they could search the truck for drugs. Think MY rights were violated?? U don't hear me bitchin about my rights. After he didn't find any drugs, the cop apologized

[Pafoofnik1]

@179178: _U don't hear me bitchin about my rights._

No, we hear you bitching about our rights.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

@179178 Enjoy your nanny police state. R.I.P. U.S.A.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" -Samuel Adams

[ilanaaq]

@179178 OK goody two-shoes. Riddle me this. Suppose I rent a rig, or a car or whatever, and some dumbass that previously rented it put drugs in it, and now I take the rap. What'd ya say then, dumbass? You'd be "bitchin" about your rights then! That's if you get your phone call to your attorney to defend the charges...lol. You people never think about the permutations that a situation can end up in. It's not a matter of nothing to hide, it's a matter of getting rapped for others' actions!!

[coscopwatch]

@179178 wow, you didn't bitch!  then you deserve none of the rights we are fighting for.

[JohnnyMac496]

Where is the "real id" that was supposed to come out in 2008

[Jaric35]

@JohnnyMac496

People have it, just hasn't hit the mainstream yet

[TheJomogogo]

The founding fathers never concieved of people operating 3 tons of steel at a mile as minute through populated area. Your precious 4th amendment rights have nothing to do with checking on people late at night who are usually drunk and a danger to the general public. Don't want to be checked? Don't operate a motor vehicle queer.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

1) The Founding Fathers were inventors (read: Ben Franklin) and I'm pretty sure they had wagons with wheels on them that were on packed streets with animals, children, etc.

2) "Your" or "Our" ? You make it sound like you and I are in a separate boat. Unless you renounced your rights, in which case, why are you still here?

3) I suppose those of us that have to leave our house based upon our personal needs at night, shouldn't be allowed to operate motor vehicles?

4) Netflix "Idiocracy"

[1zzzzzzz1]

@TheJomogogo what if they are not drunk should they still be violated?

[Cataclysm135]

I don't know why you're affiliating the 4th amendment with a sobriety checkpoint. It's a stop and go procedure. They ask you if you've been drinking and if your answer is no, you're on your way. They don't search or seize anything unless of course you're idiotic enough to drive intoxicated. You have the 4th amendment scrolling at the beginning but it seems you didn't even read it. If you're pulled over by a cop for violating a traffic law, you have to stop so in essence, it's the same thing.

[CheckpointUSA]

Actually, every checkpoint stop represents a seizure Cataclysm135:

SCOTUS in U.S. vs. Martinez-Fuerte:

"The Court assumes, and I certainly agree, that persons stopped at fixed checkpoints, whether or not referred to a secondary detention area, are "seized" within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Moreover, since the vehicle and its occupants are subjected to a "visual inspection," the intrusion clearly exceeds mere physical restraint..."

[PatriotKS1975]

SHow me your papers was "stop and go" too. "If you're pulled over by a cop for violating a traffic law, you have to stop so in essence, it's the same thing. " VIOLATING law and NOT violating law are in essence the same how? You lost me.

[Cataclysm135]

Okay, I'll make it less complicated for you: The function of these checkpoints is to investigate any possible impairment/suspicion in drivers. If your behavior or actions are suspicious to authorities conducting these checkpoints, you are prone to a search and seizure, which is no different than getting pulled over by any other cop on the street. "So in essence, it's the same thing." If you have nothing to hide, they have nothing to search for. Haha, blinded by hatred of the government. Too bad.

[PatriotKS1975]

You do not make it "easier for me", I am not the one confused. "The function of these checkpoints is to investigate any possible impairment/suspicion in drivers." And MY rights state i CANNOT be stopped without probable cause". If your behavior or actions are suspicious to authorities conducting these checkpoints, you are prone to a search and seizure" What CAUSE do they have to stop vehicles in yjr first place??? "If you have nothing to hide" Spoken like a true robot. I have NOTHING TO HIDE

[PatriotKS1975]

Many, many people have died so that i will NOT be bothered by my government or state for NO reason. NOBODY will question me without REASON, Any questions? As long as i do not break the law, i will not be bothered. If you do not CHERISH these rights you are a fool or someone working to destroy them.

[Cataclysm135]

HAHA, Robot? Robots believe everything written into law (i.e. you). You think your invulnerable because of some "4th Amendment." The very organization responsible for the constitution was the father of today's government so surely they can bend it. I tried to explain that it's not a big deal to go through this checkpoint but you complain too much. I'll give you better advice now, "Patriot". Why don't you wake up from your "robotic" existence and realize that the world we live in isn't fair.

[PatriotKS1975]

I believe that this country was founded on certain rights. This belief is CORRECT. These rights were in place to protect me from a government that wants to infringe upon them. The ONLY problem in this country is people like you. You are the uncle tom and boot licking automoton. YOU and your type allow our rights to be trampled and eventually you will regret it. Crack open a few history books.

[Cataclysm135]

Quick to judge the book before reading the cover. Typical human behavior. The "Patriot" of all people accuses me of supporting the US government. Actually, it's quite different than that but I'll leave you to your assumptions. Looking at the "our rights" in your statement, I suppose you refer to people who oppose the US government while I'm the "automaton" who follows the rules. Actually, I watch YOUR kind bitch and moan while the government destroys the country.

[Cataclysm135]

Furthermore, while you bitch and moan with the rest of the anarchists and human degenerates, I still manage, along with my "kind" of course, to maintain a life free from negation and the government's "rules." Like all hypocrites, you are quick to label something you don't understand. Being called an "automaton" by a bible humper is a joke to me. You're fighting your little revolution against the wrong people. I'll opt to continue to sitting in the background watching the government vs. citizens.

[Cataclysm135]

So lastly, before I leave this page forever, I'll point out that my attempt at convincing you, a religious individual, of letting go of contempt for a highly disputed issue ended with you blowing it out of proportion with subtle threats of my supposed future regret over something I am assumed to support. You are no better than the uncle toms and boot licking automatons that ruin YOUR country. Take care, "Patriot."

[PatriotKS1975]

If all my fellow countrymen stood against this type of infringement it WOULD NOT HAPPEN. See, you are the problem. People like YOU allow this to happen. You think your government is here to help you, take care of you and make sure your ok. They do really care about YOU right? Your nieve. Now go back to sitting and bieng a spectator. Sit back and watch everything fall apart. THE problem with Americans.

[Cataclysm135]

I'm not a U.S. citizen you idiot so I doubt a "person like me" is responsible for the shambles the United States is in. I'm far from ignorant as well. You, however, are ignorant of the way the world works and how to survive without your precious American laws and regulations, that actually bind you from realizing true freedom. So yeah, I'll spectate as humans destroy each other. Good luck in that cluster ftuck you call "the best country on earth."

[PatriotKS1975]

"free from negation and the government's "rules"" So you have a gate pass at the checkpoint? Your free from the "rules" correct? You have opted to sit. You do not have the balls to stand. I already knew that.

[PatriotKS1975]

What you call "bitching" is merely responding the way anyone with a thinking brain would. I am on one side of the coin, you by your comments are on the other. My side has the head yours the tail, in other words your an ass. MY KIND are those that DO stand and will stand against the destruction. Even for the ignorant and ungratefull like yourself. I am proud of MY KIND. WE created the best country on earth, it is now in shambles but thats because of people like you.

[ganttler]

DUI, is big bucks for local justice systems everywhere. if you don't like it, don't drive drunk. That's the only way to beat the game, cause the checkpoints are not going away, and continually screaming about civil rights violations is a not working.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

In the words of Samuel Adams, "Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

[candiceevans1]

i love this,,,,spoken like a true patriot

[candiceevans1]

i hate to break this to you,,,but I was charged with a DUI for prozac being in my system,,and thr bottlle was in my puse and said i could drive on it,,,i blew a 00,,,i had been sitting still and was hit by a speeding car going about 40mph in a 25mph school zone,,,i was knocked out cold,,,,when i woke up i was dragged out of my car and screamed at by police forced to take a sobriety test when i couldnt stand up straight,,,i had a gash on my forehead.

[FreeRdr199]

If you dont like it get the fuck out!

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

I can tell that you've put a lot of deep thought into this.

Why is it that those that are trying to preserve this Constitutional Republic are the ones that should "get the fuck out?" Please try and help me understand why those such as yourself who are trying to dismantle this Constitutional Republic are the ones who should stay?

Each time I hear someone such as yourself bleating out "USA!" an acronym comes to mind:

Uninformed

Selfish

Angry

This is the calm before the storm, good luck & thnx!

[candiceevans1]

you have the name freerdr and yet you believe that in the USA we cant change anything? Sir, you are very misinformed a bunch of old people were able to yell loud enough to stop healthcare in its tracks but the young who should be leading the charge are apathetic and too self absorbed. they only care a/b their little piece of heaven, but your heaven will become hell and if you chose to stay silent and give up YOU WILL SENTENCE YR CHILDREN TO SLAVERY I believe we have a name for that Sir A COWARD

[FreeRdr199]

Nah i'm not a coward. I'm just sick of hearing everyone in this country bitch and complain about what another person says or does. Seems like some type of virus...anyways im sorry

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

I suppose that you can serve as an example to the rest of us oh enlightened one: You don't even have a cause to believe in, or to be angry about. You're just angry. You have nothing to fight for, but BOY YOU'RE FIRED UP, READY TO FIGHT, AND TO KICK SOMEONE'S ASS in between your UFC Fight Videos, Tapout, Alcohol, Football, Strip Clubs, Kid Rock, clothing with skulls and tattoos of skulls, and whatever other semblances of power and puffed up manhood that you can try and cling to.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

You're having a hard time seeing any common sense, because that is something that you obviously lack. That, and the will to simply be free.

Your defeatist, "Resistance is Futile" attitude is truly pathetic.

Why is it that things can change for the worse, but cannot be changed for the better? Isn't this Republic supposed to be "of, by, and for the people," oh intellectual law major prodigy? I suppose slavery should've stayed legal too, since at the time, "that's the way it is" ?

[FreeRdr199]

All i'm saying is that as long as there are people driving drunk and illegals coming over the border without doing proper paperwork first, there will always be checkpoints somewhere in this country...so since i am so misinformed...What can U.S. citizens do to change this?

[PatriotKS1975]

STAND AGAINST IT. Simple answer. If EVERYONE said, get lost i dont have to answer your questions, you have no reason to bother me and no matter the result stood for freedom this would not happen. The PROBLEM is the people. Soon they will wish they would have stood against it when they realize they no longer can.

[FreeRdr199]

*UNREASONABLE SEARCH*...Sobriety checkpoints is not UNREASONABLE.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

There will always be pretexts for the claiming of rights so that actions such as checkpoints, and even torture are not UNREASONABLE. Apparently, all it takes to be an American now-a-days is to justify pretexts for the taking of rights.

What is more mind boggling is that there are those such as yourself to defend it with:

* The war on crime

* The war on drugs

* The war on terror

* The war on drunken driving - the latest scare tactic so that we continue to further exchange liberties for security.

[tiburon69]

white people go and film asian taking your good jobs.. lol and go and married more and fucking keep bringing more and more and then one day you will be janitors of usa and then no more mexicans (morons call all people from latin america) will not come here THINK ABOUT IT ..that may work damn i'll may be president of the usa one day .....the way i think.. lol THIS VIDEOS ARE FUCKING STUPID. PEOPLE ASK FOR NOW WE DONT LIKE IT

MAKE UP YOUR FUKING MIND

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Not that it really matters at this point, as we ignored the Bible & Constitution and rationalized us giving up our rights and adherence to the Constitution, and now we are going to pay dearly for it, just as the founding fathers warned.

Google "PDD 51", "r210_35", or "H.R. 645" These checkpoints were simply to get us conditioned, and IT HAS WORKED OUT QUITE WELL.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Ben Franklin

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

This is a blatant violation of the the 4th Amendment, and what's worse is that they're now doing *FORCED* blood withdraws. I went to the Austin City Council Forum the other week where the Police Chief even talked about how they have a chair with restraints for strapping people down for their blood to be extracted. To top that, you have military now running these checkpoints, and as my videos show, this is comprised of citizens just like East Germany.

So yes, this is a VIOLATION of the 4th.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

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.

So once again, where is the probable cause? Just because the Supreme Court says we're guilty until proven innocent doesn't mean that it's legal.

[DavidForthoffer]

Probable cause is not needed for discretionless DUI checkpoints. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the minimal intrusion caused by such checkpoints is counterbalanced by society's need to catch drunk drivers.

You and I can certainly regard that DECISION as weakening the Fourth Amendment, but the fact remains that under our law the ultimate interpreter of the Constitution is the Supreme Court.

So for now, such discretionless DUI checkpoints are not violating the Fourth Amendment.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Lest we forget one of the latest headlines:

Whiteville, Tennessee Police, Military, & Homeland Security holding "safety belt inspection" checkpoints which is not only a violation of the 4th Amendment, but is also a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

All of us are being acclimated for Martial Law, plain and simple. If these checkpoints were legal, then they would have done them in the late 1700s and onward.

America was an awesome country when it was actually America... R.I.P. U.S.A.

[abdcop]

they've been doing them since 1924...they only became a problem when youtube came about. do me a favor...solve the border problem. i'll wait for your response.

[DavidForthoffer]

So why are these DUI checkpoints violating the 4th Amendment?

Discretionless DUI checkpoints are generally legal, per Michigan v. Sitz.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

The same reason that "free speech zones" are in violation of the 1st Amendment.

For starters, where is the probable cause? Am I weaving all over the road and crashing into things? No.

These federally funded checkpoints are incremental desensitization for martial law and round-ups that we're about to face. Such is the nature of human history repeating itself.

Discretionless Rounding up of American Citizens of Japanese Ethnicity was generally legal per the Supreme Court's decisions... TWICE.

[blueballzstudio]

wow a DUI checkpoint. We should start burning the constitution now! U R an idiot! Maybe when one of YOUR children ends up in a coma after being in a car that was overturned by a drunk driver, you'll stop being so damn paranoid and you'll appreciate these a bit more.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Thank you for the insults, Shalom.

Okay, let's play a game:

What is the #1 unnatural cause of death? Government or Drunken Drivers?

If you said Drunken Drivers, try again: Government.

Since you and so many others refuse to learn the basic lessons of history, I can only wish you the best of luck, as the party of apathy is finally over. Say goodbye to your house, food, car, clothes, toys, sports, tv, magazines, american idol, and all the other crap that's kept you distracted and stupid.

[usergently]

Great video mate, people around my neck of the woods, they don't see whatever is not on t.v's reality shit. Chemtrails, duh!, it's condensation!... Vaccines, it's o.k.. fuck!, cases of.Alzheimer, autism, skin problems, etc. are sorring. Sometime, you need to breath for a minute, so you can't rip the person's face off!....Wake the fuck up now!...Something wicked this way come.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Thanks, and agreed! I think it's too late for all of us now, though will continue to try. This is what happens when you have a populous that runs ala Proverbs 1:20-33

[PiercingKnight]

audio???

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

YouTube killed it since apparently the fair use clause of copyright laws doesn't apply here. You can find an uncensored copy at Ron Paul CD . com

[Gulfporter]

I love the LED message board in the car window. Where did you get it?

[volatino]

Wait, they stopped once then later on down the road AGAIN? WTF?

[zulu872847]

What would our founding fathers say? I say all US citizens should take full advantage of the freedom we have and opose the police state we all so feared in the past and it is now a reality.

[conotoxin]

They would say "what is a car?"

[zulu872847]

haha yea im sure.

[Illuminate666]

MAKE WEED LEAGLE! and please don't drive drunk kidz its a total bummer!

awun plez bee frosty when u hita da bong mauwn!

WHAT A WONDERFUL LAND - but we must be vigelant of those "illuminate reptilian banker nazi's"... well signing out.

[YourGovtLies]

they would also wonder how much we spend in english funding for our public schools... or if we even teach english.... or teach.... or maybe youre just dumb

[DavidForthoffer]

General competency in English as shown on YouTube is very poor, including many people who seem to think they write it well ... or maybe you're just dumb, YourGovtLies.

[YourGovtLies]

I just love how prim and proper you think you are. I just want to take this chance to thank you kind sir

[raulduke113]

all you people opposing this video need to go back to freshman year when you took civics..doesnt sound like most of you paid attention..but do some research on civil rights in america..and i bet that you feel so safe knowing that these police are out here doing the unconstitutional checkpoints..vote for bush and obama and watch fox news and go buy some more shit so that you can think you will be satisfied...wake the fuck up..this isnt to protect people only to enslave bahhhh sheep baahhhhh

[7514328]

Makes me wonder why the U.S has the highest homicide rate in the continent. So many laws, everyone is overworked with little time for themselves and family.This democracy creates so much stress which is the cause of all the violence. The laws only work for the rich. All the legal lines are drawn so that you are either a victim or aggressor. Automobiles are the greatest scam ever made. If everyone just aboandoned their cars their would be more freedom and less crime. All machines kill people.

[barflewk]

We have a high homocide rate because we got a lot of niggers, that's it and that's all. Everywhere the black man goes, things just get better, don't they?

[YourGovtLies]

you suck..... thats it.... you suck

[usergently]

Imbécile de raciste!...Go suck an egg, deadbeat!

[azrat1980]

Maybe you should view some videos of loved ones killed by drunk drivers. Tell the victims family how you feel about DUI ceck points. Let me guess, you have been arrested for DUI? At a check point!?

[CRFpilot22]

People die... it sucks but thats life. The Government is trying to control the uncontrollable and its pointless really. People are gonna die no matter if they issue DUIs or not. Try reading some stoic philosophy

[Kniner7]

One day a criminal or drunk will kill you and i will laugh. Be sure not to call 911, call the ACLU to come save you...jackass

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

It's a good thing you have no concept of rights, though it makes it a little more challenging to figure out where your emptiness comes from.

[cacamaymie]

You will laugh? How christian of you. I tell everyone I know, including young people, know/obey the law, but NEVER trust police. Even if you call them for help, they ask for YOUR ID, Your personal information, work, full background check. This way, if you have any warrants, they don't have to help you with your problem, they have YOU.

Police have a tough job, AND SO DO YOU.

Learn and live.

[plebito34]

Just so you know, DUI checkpoints, immigration checkpoints, fish and game checkpoints, among others, have all been deemed LEGAL by the Supreme Court. So you may want to change the description where it says these checkpoints violate the 4th amendment, because they DONT.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

When the Supreme Court rules that you don't have 6th & 8th Amendment Rights, grab you and send you outside of the country for "renditioning" without access to a jury (or writ of Haebus Corpus since that's been out of the window for at least 2 years now) then I suppose that's LEGAL and that DOESN'T violate the Bill of Rights either?

It's a good thing we can blindly trust people with power.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Correction on spelling: Habeas Corpus

[nairbmack]

The leader of these types of videos is a guy named CheckpointUSA.He has banned me from his threads and deleted the majority of my posts.Hypocrit - a libertarian who practices censorship and blacklisting.Checkpint - your lib buddies deserve a response from you about your Nazi actions.Your a coward and a phony, come face me.The bully buster is on your tail checkpint, its your thread and your forums, you have the upperhand, ill take that chance, let me in.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I am Thad, and have no connection with him.

Do your research before you make false accusations.

[1956909milu]

Some of you people obviously have other issues on your mind (illegal imigration)and dont see how this is a money business and now police can fabricate any situation in their favor" with this new "Impaired to the slightest Degree Law" Then in court the officer will say that you were speeding so he stopped you when you know that you were'nt. Prosicuting Att's will then verb it in his favor w/ analagies that really help the officers fabricated bull!

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Yep. A lot of these people still don't seem to understand the magnitude of the situation.

[Wolffe5]

People who say "Who cares if you stop for like 2 mins" obviously have no clue what the founding fathers of the country set up and just how important the Constitution and the Bill of Rights actually is.

Wake up people, time to be patriotic and dissent against the tyrannical government. Waving a flag and saying Support the troops is not patriotism folks. Time to take action, now.

[Wolffe5]

People like to say "Well whats wrong with stopping for a second if you don't have anything to hide?".

The problem with this mentality is that after awhile they say "Well who cares if all the muslims are being detained in the US if your not muslim?

Then it eventually goes to "Well who cares if they are swat teaming everyone and taking them to camps, if you work hard you might survive".

etc etc. If you even let anything slip by even if its small, it'll only get worse and worse.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Such as the case with former New Jersey police officer Scott Loper who is an American Citizen and was denied his 6th and 8th Amendment Rights just to name a few.

Google "Scott Loper Story"

[jnkmailacc]

what's the bid deal? So you have to stop and the cop sees if you look like you've been drinking. If it keeps the DD from killing someone I love than I'm for it. I would gladly stop and let them ask me if I've been drinking.

[sillyolpun]

this is step by step erosion of our rights. I want to live in a free country. I don't drink and drive at all, but I refuse to allow police to be in any way involved in my life unless they have a warrant or PC. Driving down the street is not probable cause to be stopped or questioned.

[popejoshpope]

If it was totally free, it would be anarchy! PC is assholes killing people when driving drunk! Tell the drunk driving victims family that and they would agree.

[decayaway]

I support what you are doing. Keep it up.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Thank you for your support! Check out Campaign for Liberty and get your family, friends, police, deputies, and complete strangers involved and passionate about the REAL things in life. Thousands can show up for a football game in a stadium, yet we can't even get 10 to show up to these checkpoints with signs to protest. WTF?!

The whole way I got this video is because I made it a point to have a *GOOD* conversation with the deputies out there; and I encourage you and everyone else to do the same.

[kidfromstatenisland]

Disagree w/Mr. Jenkins, when my husband witnessed BP agents allowing illegals to cross the border in Sonora,TX while they stopped him randomly - 10feet away the illegals were getting into cabs! YES! They were bringing them to the SS or welfare office to get money so they could get on the books, pay the driver and then have him take them to the driver's license bureau to get a license, no questions asked.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

I had a similar experience when I went to South Padre a few years back... As we were heading down there, a hollowed out Ma' Bell utility truck pulled over *RIGHT ACROSS THE HIGHWAY* from the hardened border patrol checkpoint that was oozing with agents and we counted ~15 illegals that jumped out. Were the agents concerned? Nope.

When/if I can find what little video I have (I tried getting it on film while driving 70 someodd mph) I'll throw it on here.

[mrrjenkims]

Checkpoints need to be set up to deport illegals. This is not a normal situation. There are 20 million people in this country illegally who's loyalty is to Mexico. We need them deported. Drunk driving checkpoints aren't good, but checkpoints for illegals are necessary to protect our country.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Once you allow one sort of checkpoint which violates our Constitutional Rights, you've allowed them all. NEVER RATIONALIZE YOUR RIGHTS BEING COMPROMISED.

Remember: We're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, NOT guilty until proven innocent.

For the kind that you're talking about, isn't that the whole purpose of border patrol and having them patrol the *BORDER*? If it was simply for purposes of illegals, then you would have to flat out do racial profiling.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

This is incremental desensitization for martial law; which is virtually implemented in various parts around the country such as: Helena, Arkansas and NYC.

Most of the populous are good, passive consumers that don't see a problem because they're able to purchase "Guitar Hero" on credit cards.

What's going on right now is not a shock for anyone that's been paying attention, but man, this is a rude awakening for those that have been domesticated, pacified, and fattened up for the NWO slaughter.

[1956909milu]

Ive always suprtd Laws Goving our St to protect us from Drunk Drivers You'l always notice- ones which should of been cawt wernt And the peeps who arnt worried had a cpl beers,drinks are the ones getting harrassed by these stops and payin for the idiots. The Judges/Cnty Attnys/Cops Are Making this into a biz of $ and dont care about the pain caused to lives&Families who didnt realize that/unprotecting themslves/made easiest targets,NOW IMPARED TO DA SLITES DEGREE/ul C/Inocent R Now GONA PayBIG

[azdrifter520]

your rights are being violated???????????

[azdrifter520]

thats so rediculous

[BanzaiSushi]

in the video you said the National ID begins May 11th 2008. That date has come and gone. When are the IDs supposed to be given?

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

If you have a drivers license then you're going to have it; and if you live in a state that has already finished implementation, then you have it.

As of April 2, 2008, all 50 states have either applied for extensions of the original May 11, 2008 compliance deadline or received unsolicited extensions, meaning that the REAL ID Act will not become an issue at federal facilities and airports until December 31, 2009.

[upshaw26]

dumb hippie

I wish the police had a DUI checkpoint and stopped the drunk who hit our car and caused injury and nightmares for years. I don't think that anyone envisioned drunks wielding 3000+ pound weapons at high speeds at the time the 4th amendment was added to the Constitution.

[wait887]

so really. We can change our rights whenever the time serves it. So one day some government offical can say that public protests are not needed for whatever the reason. That's why the constitution is the supreme law of the land. No one can change it without ammending it

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

I was smashed into by a drunken driver while parked at a red light and my friend sustained injuries, and my vehicle was totaled. To top that, a few years before that; friends and I came upon a horrible wreck in which case the drunken driver killed two people.

Based upon my personal experiences, I would still *NEVER* compromise my RIGHTS.

They didn't have to envision DWI/DUI wrekcs as there always have been, and always will be, threats that people are willing to compromise their rights for.

[nukem911]

like the vids man but goddamn, silence your RD.

[oyahbabee]

It's people like coolden that clapped for hitler.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

I almost hope that you get the country/world that you want, because frankly, I'm starting to think that it's what you and your ilk deserve.

[2VIPER3]

i remember when i saw that checkpoint.

[dickwa]

the problem is we are so soft on drunk drivers so that there is no fear to drive drunk, its acceptable by most even in congress (ted kennedy) but in typical fashion in this country, we are bi-polar, we want to drink and have fun but don't want the responsibilty that tags with it, so we dream up these "check points" to catch drunks. it's honorable but illegal as hell. most pilitiacians turn a blind eye to this stuff for they don't know what else to do about the drinking problems in their state.

[Watthiman]

Don't be fooled. Statistics prove Roadblocks do nothing to address drunk driving but it DOES address revenue. In other words, These stops are designed to steal money out of your pocket. They pull you over knowing that 99% of drivers are not going to be drinking BUT this gives them an excuse to check your license, registration and insurance and look for any other violations which they can cite (steal your money)you with. It's purely revenue based an it's a violation of your rights.

[1956909milu]

Very CORRECT!

[Watthiman]

Police were never charged with crime prevention. It's a ridicules concept. To even suggest that one day our government would forcibly stop and make law abiding citizens answer questions would have been unthinkable a decade or two ago and is a slap in the face to those persons how died while fighting for our independence from England. The worse part is most people don't seem to mind. Very sad and very scary.

[alyr315]

Fucking right my friend. I'm from Canada, and the same shit goes on up here. The only difference? It's on a lower scale, and you still have stupid Canadians brainwashed to hate America and think they are safe from this. BULL SHIT!!! Those idiots if they knew American History, they would revolt against our "silent police state"

[elsamuraiguapo]

You're wrong about sobriety check points being 4th amendment violations. The courts have ruled they are NOT a 4th amendment search or seizure.

[dickwa]

so, if the "courts" say its ok for police to search your house with out cause and warrent then according to your logic, thats ok because "the courts ruled it". god, you have no clue on what this country was founded on.

[bob1qaz]

What he meant to say was if the courts told him to jump off a cliff he'd do it.

[DavidForthoffer]

elsamuraiguapo, You are almost right. In United States v. Michigan 496 US 444, the Supreme Court ruled that sobriety checkpoints COULD BE set up to be constitutional. One essential factor is that officers must not be allowed to use their discretion in deciding which vehicles to pull over for a sobriety screening.

[PepperWhite62]

IF the time and location of them are published in advance.

[Watthiman]

What the courts ruled is irrelevant. Most laws are in violation of the constitution. Requiring a driver's license, insurance, inspections registration, Property tax, Income Tax. Permits to build, repair your own property. Permission from the state to paint your house and than having to pay a permit fee to do so. You can't cut a tree down on your own property without permission and a permit. Forced vaccines, Forced state schooling. It's ALL completely illegal under the constitution.

[GoombaDaddy]

wait what are you against here? sobriety checkpoints? nobody that has lost friends/family from drunk drivers is going to side with you on this one.

[MrKoffee1212]

I hope they tear your car apart and make your children cry one day when you're cuffed in front of them. People like you make me sick. You have no sense of true patriotism, go be a sheep elsewhere.

[raw420x]

Excellent video, I just sent you a video response in regards to what happened to me, and the devastation in dealing with an illegal stop, search, and seizure... I've lost everything please share my video everywhere... thanks and 5 *****

[teebteeb1268]

The quote is a little of but the meaning is the pretty close. I teach American History and I have never heard of him refuting that statement. Can you source that claim? I'm willing to learn here...

[xyc0]

You misquoted Benjamin Franklin. Not only did he refute making that statement, you reworded the statement to suit your needs.

[rocktron2000]

I totally agree with the boarder patrol videos but not so much with these because I hate people who drive drunk.. I am so torn!

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

For what it's worth, I was plowed into by a drunk driver while I was parked at a red light. My car ended up being totaled.

It doesn't just stop there though with my drunk driver encounters, my friends and I came upon a terrible car wreck where 2 people were killed by a drunken driver. My friend and I found the guy, and I found his girlfriend.

I DESPISE DRUNKEN DRIVERS. But guess what?

I WOULD STILL NEVER EVER JUSTIFY GIVING UP LIBERTY FOR A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY.

[rocktron2000]

I mean, like, those roadblocks don't even work. I just like the IDEA of a sobriety test. Like you have to blow into some robotic breath tester or something.

[FileKong]

I don't mind a little strictness to curb the bad element in the society, but if authority is abused, then it sucks.

[FileKong]

...

[FileKong]

hey, the comment is not posting

[FileKong]

The comment is not posting

[jsmxwll]

Isn't there an old saying about if you give up freedom for security you get and deserve neither?

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

Yep, ol' Ben Franklin said it. Hence why I threw that quote in the video. :-D

[Christopher52488]

by law they have to say it something like this "HI im officer (Joe)WIth the (SOMETHING POLICE DEPARTMENT) We are doing a sobriety check point and im asking u if u had anything to drink today?" now if you didnt drink or what ever and they say you did and they make you do a test you cant do anything about it its the probable cause and shit but then again they are wrong about it cops can loose their jobs like that for thinking wrong

[soupdup]

You guys are fucking pricks... just trying to cause trouble.

[supadupadennis]

what was that flashing thing on the rear window

"your bill of rights are bring violated"? and how do i get one!?

i also have my ron paul poster on the side window

[DVincentW]

We are the enemy of the state.

All we did was be here.

Welcome to fascism USA, soon to be the NAU.

[ELMATAPE]

border patrol has a permanent on I-19, betwen nogales-tucson !

[driveforlife]

I suggest you post this everywhere you can so action can be taken...

[hats4us]

well look at it this way i live in new mexico and at least three people a day here is killed by a drunk driver if thos check points wherent there the death toll from drunk drivers woad be much higher you people in the az my think defrent about theam but here in nm it saves lives

[Flash4T]

They appear to be friendly and are only briefly stopping people to see if a person is drunk. They didn't even ID you...what is so 'unreasonable' about this?

[brig0601]

That is a violation of the 4th Amendment. They MUST have probable cause to stop you, not to check and see if you are drunk.

[Simariah]

Border Patrol has a permanent one on I-19 outside Tucson AZ that is there on the freeway they make every vehicle stop on the freeway and ask if you are a citizen they say it is legal because it is covered under DEA. It is a violation of our rights. Ron Paul is our only Hope

[CheckpointUSA]

I've posted six videos of my suspicionless seizure at temporary Border Patrol/Homeland Security checkpoints in Pima County over the past five weeks. See my channel for the videos along with links back to my website.

[ByeByeMsAmericanPie]

DOH! I forgot to put "Google Operation Tips" in the video! Everyone needs to go read up on that East-Germany/McCarthy-reminisc­ent nightmare, as that's what is happening again!

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

[sidewithseeds]

I would love to know how much energy it takes to run all those floodlights, as well as keeping the squad cars running to power their lights.

Trampling our liberties AND massively polluting to boot.

[RP4409]

ridiculous

[scott715]

I didn't realize there was a new checkpoint there - it's practically in town! This is out of control.

And hey... I know that car... who is this?

[Chandlerbin2006]

Good documentation. I went through one of these many years back in California. This type of thing makes me sick.
