Los Angeles Checkpoint - Citizen Opinions/Reactions

February 27th 6 PM to 6 AM checkpoint at 139th and Hawthorne BLVD in Hawthorne, CA, 90250.

Checkpoint 2nd week in a row, last one was about 1/4 mile away at Jefferson St. and Rosecrans Ave.

The economy is getting bad and California is REALLY suffering, welfare recipients and people expecting a Tax Refund will be issued IOU's. I can see it now. Food Riots and general pandemonium - and we'll still have checkpoint after checkpoint to keep us "safe".

We will be seeing a hell of a lot more of these checkpoints here soon and we will also see them during the day hours on WEEKDAYS as they get more ballsy and not enough people resist as I predict.

I'm licensed, have insurance and don't drink.

How do I feel about their checkpoints?

They violate OUR rights! Just because I happen to drive through a DUI checkpoint doesn't give them right to stop me.

If I'm driving like a complete idiot, swearing all over the road or speeding...YA, PULL ME OVER! All those cops should be driving up and down the streets looking for DRUNK DRIVERS! Total waste of manpower!

@kenny1309 Hey, thanks for the intelligent comment. If you are doing nothing wrong or illegal, YOU SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE. Not stopped, questioned and have your "Papers" verified. People tollerate alcohol at many levels. A high school friend, Paul, would drink 25 beers in a single day, from 10am to 2 am and he would not even look drunk, but his BAL was high I am sure. FATIGUED/SLEEPY DRIVING is far more common and more dangerous. No checkpoints for that, is there? They dont deport illegals either.

A checkpoint legally is supposed to have access to outlet streets or to be able to turn around there fore giving you the option to detour from warrant less searches. Those cops waiting to stop detourers are illegal.

[mrjustin5]

@MayonR Yes, good point. LA police are basically above the law - because NO ONE CHALLENGES THEM. No one sues them, no one even knows their rights, so the Motorcycle cop who goes 70MPH on a residential street and the curb-climbing cop car get to do whatever they want. They are the predator and we are the prey. Keep in mind Los Angeles made 30 MILLION DOLLARS off of Checkpoints in 2009 and SPLIT the money 50/50 with Towtruck Companies.

That MEXICAN is a ass

@mrjustin5 - It's not about public safety, it's an extortion racket. These guys are nothing but criminal thugs anymore. They have lost the public trust and are treading on dangerous territory because of their thuggish ways. If I was a cop, I'd quit rather than wear that target (errr, I mean uniform) every day......

Now - about that guy who doesn't believe in the constitution, all I can say is WOW! What an idiot......

dumb ass imigrant pice of shit!!! =D

[thatbritts]

@mrjustin5 And in these hard times the unemployed lose they're car because the insurance has lapsed, I lived and worked right there 20 yrs ago, I got caught up in one of those "Check Points" down in San Diego, It held me up over an hour, I missed my Job interview I was going to.

I wonder how many thousands in income I have lost so the Police can steal cars?

By the way thats Hawthorne PD not LAPD

[o0smokingmonk0o]

the first guy you talk to is a hero, but the second is probably a police plant

[PyroPortrayal]

That latino is probably used to living in a dictatorship. What a dick

[MayonR]

@mrjustin5 Very true. From experience I can say when you challenge an L.A. cop with smarts they are left baffled. Another thing to be understood is that the rights are not given by the Constitution. Rights are inherent to any law abiding human being as a rule of humanity. Specifically the Constitution simply limits the power of the government to infringe on these in- a- lien-able rights. Do you see the breakdown of that word inalienable? Meaning you cannot lien away those rights.
