Home Land Security Checkpoint Protest in Port Angeles, WA Sept 20th, 2008 - King 5 Coverage

Homeland Security Sets up Suspicionless Checkpoints Along Roads in Washington State

Homeland security has setup up 3 internal checkpoints on the Olympic Peninsula. These checkpoints are in addition to checkpoints at Washington Ferry docks and highway border crossings. According to the U.S. Border Patrol, it has a jurisdiction of about 100 miles from the border. This puts most of Washington state in an area where border checkpoints are authorized, including Seattle.

In August and again in the beginning of September, the Department of Homeland Security has set up suspicion-less checkpoints on the Washington peninsula. The checkpoints are in the town of Forks, at the west side of the Hood Canal bridge going east bound, and at the third near Discovery Bay on US 101. Forks is a timber town of 3,200 people that is 56 miles from the nearest ferry terminal connecting Washington to Canada. At the road checkpoints there and elsewhere, the border patrol ask drivers different types of questions to gauge their status in the U.S., including questions about citizenship.

We aren't a free nation anymore if we have to be detained at checkpoints.

This is RIDICULOUS! They're checking for illegal MEXICAN immigrants? At the Canadian border. See Mexican flag being waved at 1:15 This is NOT the Mexican Border, It's the Canadian border.

police are the "bad guys!"

[woodlandcammo27]

@surearrow Do them at the actual border and not 50 to 100 miles in. You can still just walk right into the U.S. from Mexico and not get stopped one time. Yet these fools stop citizens on a highway 50 to 100 miles away from the border. Seeing how you say you are old, why do you think we went and fought the nazis. Ask a Holocaust survivor about "papers please".

[OmegaWolf747]

@surearrow But back in the 1920s, checkpoints were only at the borders themselves, not within the borders of the nation. That's what's new and bad.

[OmegaWolf747]

Unconstitutional, violates people's rights and freedoms, unwanted, unwarranted, intrusive, inconvenient.

Stupid goyim americans. You are so stupid you gladly give us trillions of dollars and then go back to eating and watching tv that we feed you. We poison your food and you eat more. We poison your television and films with violence, sex and populate everything with jews and you stupid goy think that is what your country looks like. We are the international jew and you are stupid goyim. We can lie, cheat, steal from and kill you because our talmud says we can. YOUR PAPERS NOW! Dr. Henry Kissinger

[julieification]

I hope they don't "profile" as this would be hateful. Just grab grandma and grandpa america. Who cares if they aren't mexican. We don't want to discriminate. By the way, the TSA pat downs would be very beneficial. Be sure to check all their private parts. Don't worry America, the government is here to help you. And if you believe that, you deserve all this.
