Police Use TEN Different Types Of Checkpoints, With More On The Way (Updated)By MassPrivateI Last year, I warned everyone thatmultiple law enforcement partners, are conducting drug (heroin) checkpoints focused on vehicles and pedestrians! Drug testing checkpoints are a lie If they say drug check lane ahead, its false, says Wichita attorney Dan Monnat. Because the courts have ruled on this being a violation of the 4th amendment.(for more info. read City of Indianapolis v Edmond) And recently, I warned everyone that DHS is paying police departments to set up DUI checkpoints across the country. To learn how police, will soon add atenthcheckpoint to the list, please read on. Why are police using illegal checkpoints? Sixteen years ago, theSupreme Court held that checkpoints established for general crime control purposes are unconstitutional. (City of Indianapolis v. Edmond, 531 U.S. 44 (2000). So why are police and the Border Patrol stopping innocent motorists? DHS admits DUI checkpoints are REALLY about checking a persons immigration status. Aliens convicted of a significant misdemeanor, which for these purposes is an offense of domestic violence; sexual abuse or exploitation; burglary; unlawful possession or use of a firearm; drug distribution or trafficking; or driving under the influence (Source) Also, theres millions of dollars at stake. The University of Berkley which has close ties to DHS, made close to $14 million off of No-Refusal checkpointsin 2013. The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) has awarded UC Berkeleys Safe Transportation Research Education Center (SafeTREC) $13,930,555 to run its 2012-2013 Sobriety Checkpoint program. (Source) FYI, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)lists over ahundred documents supporting checkpoints in the so-calledland of the free. Updated 9/27: Texas police found 8 kilos of cocaine during a random search of a Greyhound bus created a checkpoint that trespassed on the Constitution so the drugs cannot be used as evidence, a federal judge ruled. Greyhound spokeswoman Lanesha Gipson said its policy is to let police searchtheir buses. We fully cooperate with local authorities and allow them to board the bus to do a search if they ask to do so, Gipson said in an email. Judge Lynn Hughes rejected the idea that the search was legal because Greyhounds driver consented to it, nor was he impressed by other arguments from the government. Hughes said that Greyhound is economically coerced to adopt policies of compliance to police searches because if it refused, it would be risking the ire of every excessively zealous or corrupt police force in the places through which its buses travel, which could throw its buses off schedule. (Source) Judge Hughes: The officers abuse of their authority is bad; however, the federal governments bad judgment in bringing this case is worseit has reinforced the officers illegal evasions. It may need statistics to justify its funding to Congress, but this is a weak and mean way to cater to its bureaucratic imperative. According to Courthouse News, The Conroe Police Department did not respond to a voice message asking ifthey still randomly searches Greyhound buses. So far, this makes bus checkpointsthe tenth different police checkpoint. Establishing a Checkpoint 1. Are motor vehicle checkpoints permitted? Yes, in appropriate circumstances. As noted above, the United States Supreme Court has held that sobriety checkpoints do not violate the Fourth Amendment. The General Statutes go further and allow checkpoints to be used to determine compliance with the provisions of Chapter 20.4 In other words, the statute allows checkpoints to be used to detect violations of any motor vehicle law, not just the impaired driving laws. By contrast, checkpoints may not be used for general crime control. But, thats exactly what police are doing The Border Patrols (CBP)own records contain multiple accounts of Border Patrol agents stopping and searching motorists without justification; threatening residents with assault rifles, Tasers, and knives; destroying and confiscating personal property; interfering with efforts to video-record agents; and using dozens of false alerts by CBP dogs to search and detain innocent people. (click here to read all THIRTEEN CBP documents) FOIA documents released to the ACLU, show that the Border Patrols extra-constitutional police practices amount to a de facto policy of stop and frisk for residents within 100 miles of the border. Ask yourself whats wrong with this picture, nearly eight years ago an Appeals court concluded that police can set up drivers license checkpoints, because cops dont know everything about a driver. (Source) This outdated ruling, ignores the fact that,law enforcementuses automatic license plate readers mounted on police vehicles, highways and traffic intersections to identify drivers. And also ignores the fact that police are using more than TWENTY-EIGHT automated risk assessments on anyone traveling inside the U.S. Police also rundrivers licenses through the National Precursor Log Exchange,to see if their names are on a police/pharmaceutical drug list. One corporation, is responsible for Americas checkpoint televisionads The NHTSA pays, Traffic Safety Marketing(TSM) a private advertising company, to make national television commercials promoting checkpoints, like Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, Click It Or Ticket, Fans Dont Let Fans Drive Drunk. TSM,brags aboutproviding States with TV PSAs, re-tagging them in support ofState highway traffic safety marketing initiatives. TSM, has come up with a new way, to expand checkpoints Halloween is meant to be scary, but not when it comes to driving. When it comes to drunk driving, Halloween can turn the roads into a horror fest. Get ready America, for new TV ads, telling a gullible public that kids everywhere are being killed by drunk drivers this Halloween. Their new slogan should be, Trickedand Gullible. Theres NO epidemic of drunk driving in America period; in fact, its just the opposite. Do drunk drivers really cause half of all traffic deaths? Not even close! GetMADD.com explains how the NHTSA includes passengers andpedestrians who had some alcohol but werent DRUNK. Click here tofind out moreabout the DUI myth. If youve been keeping track, thats a total ofTEN different types ofpolice checkpoints! I know I covered Click it or Ticket, by TSM, but I thought everyone should see the look of terror on this guys face, whos about to be pulled over for a seat belt violation. If a picture is worth a thousand words, I bet someone can come up with athousand words that describe what hes feeling. You read that correctly, police are stopping motorists with child car seats because according to them,3 out of 4 kids are not properly restrained! Could this be the 11th police checkpoint? Or is it covered under seat belts, as I mentioned above? According to page 8 of the University of North Carolinas, motor vehicle checkpoint article. The purpose of any checkpoint . . . would be defeated if drivers had the option to legally avoid, ignore or circumvent the checkpoint . . . by turning away upon entering the checkpoints perimeters. Further, it is clear that the perimeters of the checkpoint or the area in which checks are conducted would include the area within which drivers may become aware of its presence by observation of any sign marking or giving notice of the checkpoint. Therefore, we hold that it is reasonable and permissible for an officer to monitor a checkpoints entrance for vehicles whose drivers may be attempting to avoid the checkpoint, and it necessarily follows that an officer, in light of and pursuant to the totality of the circumstances or the checkpoint plan, may pursue and stop a vehicle which has turned away from a checkpoint within its perimeters for reasonable inquiry to determine why the vehicle turned away. A recent Appeals court ruling, allows policeto stop motorists who park in a driveway to avoid checkpoints, because the officer is no longer affiliated with the checkpoint! Earlier this year, an Illinois Appeal Court ruled motorists arent allowed to make a U-turn to avoid a checkpoint. Justice Thomas says Certainly, the purpose of any checkpoint *** would be defeated if drivers had the option to legally avoid, ignore or circumvent the checkpoint by either electing to drive through without stopping or by turning away upon entering the checkpoints perimeters. It doesnt get any clearer than that, judges dont want to let Americans avoid checkpoints because it will cost police and the govt. revenue! This is the sad reality of living in a police state. According to a Tuscon Sentinel articleearlier thisyear, civilianmonitors set up chairs across from aCBP checkpoint in Arivaca, AZand began taking notes. But when they came back the next day, the checkpoint was roped off with signs that read: No pedestrians. Peter Ragan, an Arivaca resident and one of the observers, shook his head and said he wasnt surprised to see that Border Patrol had pushed the group back, creating what Supervisory Agent William Partian called an enforcement zone. Partain said that the enforcement zone was necessary for public safety and the privacy of people driving through the checkpoint. (Source) Last week, the ACLU filed the lawsuit on behalf of Michael Picard, who has a habit of protesting DUI checkpoints because he sees them as contrary to the Fourth Amendment, and a waste of public money. He has done public records investigations, for example, and recently found that for every two man hours put into a checkpoint, it yields just one minor traffic citationalmost always for defective equipment. Lets give him something, one trooper declared. Another suggested, we can hit him with creating a public disturbance. Gotta cover our ass, remarked a third. The troopers who were working the checkpoint come over to Picard, and the first thing they did was slap the camera out of his hand so it hits the ground.Picard thinks its broken. It was really brazen. Theres another video showing that the first thing the state trooper does is walk up and with his open hand slap the camera down to the ground. He doesnt even say anything like put that down, or please lower your camera. He just slaps it to the ground. Then he interacts withPicard as if nothing happened, as if, Im just allowed to do that, and I dont even have to tell you why I just broke your camera. Its an amazing level of hostility. Wake up America, this is the police state we live in, where cops useat least TEN different types of checkpoints to threaten,ticket and arrest anyone without fear of reprisal. You can read more from MassPrivateI HERE, where this article first appeared. I just turned 59 and not in my lifetime did I ever think that my biggest fear would be that of our own (Muslim brotherhood) government.1984,no longer knocking on your door,it has been kicked in.Listen to the lyrics to the song,1984,by Spirit.One of my all time favorites. But we need the protectionfrom ourselves..and that nasty Constitution thingy. The thin blue line, above the rule of law, naturally. The thin blue cop was protecting the idiot by breaking his evil camera. Whats next? Shoe safety? Its for the children!!! So how much of the 4th Amendment is actually left, I cant seem to find it They are not your government. All ten elements of communism are in affect. Your government was overthrown during the civil war. They are the criminals committing extortion / racketeering. They are getting away with it because of your ignorance of the law. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Anyone for vigilantiism? Exactly right. Lincoln did away with the Republic and ushered in a large, invasive, centralized government which has grown larger and more oppressive each year. You are correct to a POINT. It was the Northern States that OVER through the Constitution during the Great War. It is the Northern States that have ignored the Constitution since it was written. deputizm plan. and this crap comes to a grinding halt. You want martial law? Elect Trump then. Hes says hes the law and order candidate and if elected you can bet he will put more Supreme Court justices in place to violate your Constitutional rights. It is Liberals who are systematically tearing the Constitution apart, and the creators of the Nanny state. Establishment Republicans arent much better, but they are better. Cruz violated the Constitution, as did Rubio and ovomit, by running for an office for which he is not eligible due to NOT being a Natural Born Citizen. A Natural Born Citizen is born to TWO citizen parents on U.S. soil. What is Natural Born is not specifically defined in the Constitution. And the meaning of the term natural born, to our founding fathers is found in British law, which is where they derived much of meanings and terms. According to British law, Natural born is a child born to a subject of The Crown, regardless of the soil they are born on, is also a subject of The Crown. And when he renounced his citizenship to be an Indonesian he lost any natural born status he may (or not ) have had. If he claimed his citizenship back (and facts dont show that he did) then he would be naturalized NOT natural born. We were speaking of Cruz, not the POtuS. No, He is STILL a Indonesian. 1. So that she could marry his Adoptive Father as her husband. 2. So that His Adoptive Father could Adopt him. As far as I have been able to research, he never petitioned to regain his American Citizenship. Funny thing about that, they just recently found and published his Kenyon birth certificate. I have not seen or heard that. obozo, never HAD any Natural Born Citizenship. He did not have TWO parents that were Citizens. Even under the 14th Amendment. He never had any Natural Born status. A. He was born over Seas. B. His Father was NOT an American CITIZEN. Oh ok you mean the one born to a Cuban national. You sir, are an idiot who is looking for an argument. He was born in Canada to an American and a Cubanthis does not make him solely a Cuban National, as you put it. Learn a little bit about law as it pertains to our Constitution before you go blathering about. Not at all, just other intelligent points of view but I was ready to hear yours as well. If you studied at all you would know status is passed from the male to the son not the female unless it is slave status. But then you switch to Back and forth from Brit Law toUS constitution when it is convenient to your argument. Per SCOTUS. Citizenship may fallow from Mothers Line also. JY Tony was citing Brit Law That makes a difference. To a certain point we are under Brit . Common Law. Sir, You are wrong ,in the statement that Natural Born Citizen is not defined in the Constitution. No sir, you are wrong Article Two says: No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States. I did. Go read it. There are about 3 parts to it. You must read all. The parts are years when it was amended. Well, that isnt in the Constitution. You may have read that somewhere, but it was not IN the Constitution. And it does not state he or she must be born of two American citizens. Reread. Reread that , that you wrote. You just wrote the Definition your self. You are a Half A$$ Idiot. Your a full one. You want to personally insult me a$$hat for leaving a comment? Go jack yourself off. Reread your post.m Yep your a Half A$$ed Idiot. Thats because your a queer. Thats because your a queer. This will get much worse if Hillary is elected as President. I will stand by Donald Trump who has shown to be a thoughtful and imaginative person.
