can someone please tell me what the police doing wrong....for god sake people get a life....when someone in your family gets run over by a drunk driver and the police dont catch them dont start moaning.....at least they got one good result at the end of this stupid video, that woman getting locked up......well done boys.....keep up the good work

[RidleyReport]

How do you know she was a DUI arrest? The cops wouldn't say, and never administered any type of test.

[lastlady]

Great work Dave as always in the right place reporting on important news.

Say NO to the police state.

No to check points, this is America not Nazi Germany.

And remember we always have the right to remain silent. Use your 5th amendment right.

[AnarchyInYourHead]

Besides their right to remain silent, they also seem unaware that detaining someone requires probable cause. If they make it clear to the officer(s) that they're aware of that by say "Am I being detained?"- usually answer is no, particularly here where I suspect they don't have probable cause, then "So I'm free to go?" and then if they say no, then ask again if you're being detained. It's legal terminology contestable in court.

[macrochronic]

at least these cops were civil

I suppose you might not mind a regularly-scheduled narcotics cavity search in the middle of the night. The police might have to make sure you are not hiding drugs anywhere, especially when you are peacefully asleep at home.

[jcfan42]

I am a little surprised to see a number of protestors around there at such a late hour; then again, tyranny never sleeps either, so there they were.

[rabidgnome1]

all i have to say now is "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

-- Samuel Adams, (1722-1803) U.S. Founding Father, Governor of Massachusetts, and the Crown's Public Enemy #1" have a nice day,i will not resond anymore

[del0griffith]

It's not a search, nor is it a seizure. They are surveying for obvious violations. It's not an unreasonable detention, because people are only given tickets for infractions against safety regulations. It's not an unreasonable detention, because they are operating in the lawful execution of their duties.  As long as all your p's and q's are in order, you have nothing to worry about.

[rabidgnome1]

yes i realize that but is it fair to use drunk driving as an excuse to stop people just to issue tickets to get income for the city???? isnt that a violation of our protections against unlawfull search and seizures????

[del0griffith]

I guess you don't seem to realize that tickets are given for safety infractions on your vehicle...broken windshields, burnt out lights, mechanical problems, seatbelts, brakes, exhaust, etc...so yeah, it most definitely is a safety issue, along with finding impaired drivers. So keep your vehicle in good repair and follow the rules of the road, and you have nothing to worry about. I haven't gotten a ticket in over 10 years and been through dozens of roadside checkpoints.

[rabidgnome1]

you dont seem to realise that most if not all of these checpoints are done for no other reason than to issue tickets for anything they can find,, its a revenue earning issue  not a saftey issue

[del0griffith]

what is wrong with a sobriety checkpoint? i suppose you won't complain when a drunk driver slams his car into yours and kills your family then? glad to hear that you are okay with people driving drunk.

The person in the video -- Mike -- looked like Osama lmao :p
