Brave Granny Refuses Unconstitutional Checkpoint She WINS!By Matt Agorist Sobriety checkpoints also known as DUI checkpoints are the most common roadblocks you might encounter. They function as a general purpose investigatory tactic where police can get a close look at passing motorists by detaining them briefly. A roadblock stop is quick, but it gives police a chance to check tags and licenses, while also giving officers a quick whiff of the drivers breath and a chance to peer into the vehicle for a moment. Remember that your constitutional rights still apply in a roadblock situation. Though police are permitted to stop you briefly, they may not search you or your car unless they have probable cause that youre under the influence or you agree to the search. As such, you are not required to answer their questions or admit to breaking the law. Also, during DUI checkpoints in California, police will require you to show your drivers license. If you do not, you may be charged with Vehicle Code 12951 VC failure to display your drivers license. Because courts have upheld the tyrannical practice of stopping anyone and everyone, regardless of guilt, does not mean that it is just. Because of the unjust nature of DUI and drivers license checkpoints, individuals from coast to coast have formed an entire realm of activism known as DUI or Checkpoint refusal. For years, the Free Thought Project has been covering this form of activism and promoting the brave men and women who dare stand up to the police state. Below is a video of Kate, who refused to be bullied into submission by police officers just doing their jobs. To those who would say, if you are not doing anything wrong, you should have nothing to hide, you are the problem. Families do not draw the curtains in their homes at night because they are doing something wrong. One does not lock the bathroom door in public because they are doing something wrong. It is about maintaining, asserting, and protecting your rights without being forced to lose your privacy. According to the description on YouTube, Kate began filming after she was moved into the detention area for refusing to show her drivers license. That is when the video starts. I ran into a DUI checkpoint here in my town this evening. I have been trying to teach my children the ways that the authorities are violating your constitutional rights. I had to practice what I preached, hence this video. Sorry about the bad camera work, I was nervous! This was not at all planned or expected.

Unless investigating a crime of property or against a person, The Constitution for the United States of America gives her the right to travel so the nation states cannot require a license for it. In most nation states, the nation states claim that people hauling commercial freight or commercial passengers need a drivers license. Perhaps the D.C. are confusing a drivers license with a motor vehicle operators permit? If you want to be able to freely move around without showing papers you must be an illegal alien. No just Lawful American Citizens of our original Constitution. Not the bastardized version from the illegal US Incorporation! Yeah, that was my point. You seem like the kind that needs to think before you speak or type I should say in this situation. I was being sarcastic. illegals are driving without insurance or licenses, so CA decided they should give illegals driving licenses. Illegals claim 20 dependents and get a refund over the tax they paid in if they paid any at all. The cops in AZ are sued by the US government because they want to ask those stopped for cause if they are citizens. So, what is your problem with my comment? I was expecting the cops to pull her out of the car taze her 3 or 4 times THEN send her on her merry way. sorry but bullshit. The supreme court ruled that this was entirely legal IF they stop everyone coming down the road and not racial profiling by stopping only those meeting that racial profiling. Do not try this crap in Texas. They will keep you on the side of the road as long as they want, they can and will search your car with or without your permission (and without probable cause), including dragging everything out of the car, the trunk up to and including the car seatsand when they ascertain that you are okay, i.e. if they dont find evidence and/or PLANT evidence to the contrary, they can and will leave you on the side of the road with everything (including the seats) outside the vehicle and let you put them back in. You are allowed to legally avoid the checkpoint (If you see it in time) but this is not illegal and not unconstitutional. Texas is a police stateand so is California and every other state, but the supremes say this is not illegal. While the U.S. Supreme Court may claim that it is The three branches of the Federal Government are described as co-equal. Tell the co-equal business to the U.S. Supreme Court. Had I the brief opportunity to tell them something, that wouldnt be it. Cops knew they were in the wrong thats why they let her go. Plain and simple. Hitting the boot liquor a little heavily today, are we? According to our original Constitution it is!! They are using an illegal version from the illegal US INCORPORATION. @Ghost, By the way, she had a right to turn around and not go through the checkpoint.. Yea sure! You do that and they chase you down!!! Actually she was not Driving a Motor Vehicle!! Motor Vehicles are use for commercial purposes, i.e., transporting people or freight for hire. She was Traveling which is a right!! TITLE 18 MOTOR (6) Motor vehicle.The term motor vehicle means every (10) Used for commercial purposes.The term used for property for any fare, fee, rate, charge or other consideration, Yesssir. We might as well all be Ubering if we are going to be treated like one. YUP! it if has tags on it, it is commercial Correct! Its called traveling. Resistance IS victory. resistance is not victory. ending up in jail is not victory. Learning the law would be handy.. There is what is known as an ordinary and an extraordinary use of the highway.. Using the highway commercially is regulated and requires a drivers license. Ordinary use does not. But once you have tags and license you are considered commercial.. Showing your papers is not optional. Whats really amusing is while these Einsteins were wasting their time with this non-threat lady, five drunks just went through the checkpoint due to less scrutiny caused by diminished manpower. Question: If this is a DUI checkpoint then the purpose of it is to catch inebriated drivers, right? So, once they determine you are not intoxicated you should be free to go, period! Otherwise, these are fishing expeditions using DUI as a ruse and they are operating under the color of lawthus, unlawfully. Society is bad when you have a large criminal element, but society is even worse when you have criminals with a badge. There is far more to be feared from criminals with the authority of the state behind them who can take your property and imprison you under false pretenses than there is from any run-of-the-mill criminal. Exactly!!!! Power corrupts and we have dumbed down easily corruptible people in positions of power everywhere you turn. I am very glad this turned out well for this normal lady! Unfortunately, I have seen tapes where perfectly innocent people are subjected to extreme searches, including drug dogs, and when travelling with cash (in this case because they traveled out of state to a relatives funeral), their OWN CASH is confiscated, and drugs can be planted, or they are simply told the dogs have alerted to drugs. OMG I hate to think of what follows at the cop shop. We must join w/ACLU or some organization like that to REGAIN our tattered and torn Constitution, before we are all incarcerated in one of the 400 FEMA Concentration Camps ready and waiting for us. The cops in Watertown, CT, also illegally threw people out of their homes, did not allow them to get their meds or even shoes or clothes they needed, claimed they would lock up their homes when they were done, and left the homes unlocked with all the lights on in every case. They had no warrants, and spoke to the citizens in rude and since these cops were SWAT teams, were armed to the teeth terrifying manner. Constitution, anyone? Better join the legal fight to regain it TODAY. Cheers Kudos Katie of Gaia hold yer ground the cops dont (understand?)know and havent read what the constitution offers up. And the Act Of 1871 which happened to our Country without our knowledge, behind our backs and without our consent. This is why we are where we are now. Illegal and Un Constitutional!! And the real culprit behind all of these un constitutional shenanigans , Mr. Lincoln the President that brought big government into the lives of the American people. Hence, Civil War. Just remember, driving is a privilege not a right. I did notice that many other cars were going on past them. Why was SHE pulled over in particular? This is ridiculous. You cant be this ignorant of the extent of real problems in the world and in the USA. The police and asking for your drivers license are the least of your worries in most cases. Why are you praising her? I think she is a bone head and focusing on what? She was the problem here. Not the police. Focus on the CSE that has been implemented world wide and all over America. It really will bring down America and harm the children of the world if allowed to continue. Look at the truth behind 911. Its way higher up than a few ignorant men willing to die for their beliefs. What grandma did is a waste of everyones time and money. This is another divide and conquer strategy by the very powerful people who pulled off 911. Look and think. The police are just trying to do their job and they are not the problem. Men like them were there trying to do their job at 911 and in Afghanistan. They are not the problem. Neither are their bosses. Its way higher up than them. Deal with the root cause not a couple of guys trying to make sure no one is driving drunk. She pulled it off, because they were good guys, not bad guys. They are listening. What a waste of time. If her grandchildren are killed or harmed by a drunk driver, she would be mad at the police for not taking the guy off the road. No I am not missing the point. There are bigger fish to fry and its up to us We the People to deal with them. Read Abraham Lincolns quotes. Find out what is going on while you are making good men look bad. The police are on our side and they will be there for us when we need them. You are so off track with this one. Check out CSE and focus on this one that the media covered up. This is something that got behind closed doors, while you were all being mad at the police. You were successfully smoke-screened and sent down a distraction path while the enemy of our childrens minds got into our schools. Wake up. Please wake up and Vote Trump. I am against law enforcement stopping cars for no reason. I was stopped twice many years ago in my teens. Once for not having my left turn signal on when I was in the right lane with my right turn signal on, to turn right. Two cops came to my car window and wanted all my paperwork and license of course. I was confused when they told me what my ticket was for. As I nicely but firmly tried explain to them that I was not turning left, I was turning right. They responded with Would you like to spend the night in jail? One smirked at me.We can take you in right now. Another time I was in my own car, my boyfriend was driving. I was asleep in the middle of the front seat as it was 1:30 in the morning. I had to be up for work by 9am. We were on our way to take his three friends home that were with us in the car. Suddenly there were bright lights surrounding the car and shouts of Get out of the car and get on the ground! by cops aiming rifles at us from all directions. It was pretty frightening. They looked through the car tearing everything apart, and of course there was nothing for them to find. I had no idea what they might be looking for. We had not been either drinking or doing any illegal activity. I had never been arrested or in trouble with police. My car registration, insurance and everything was up to date. I was very conscientious as a teenager on my own. They held us all overnight under a charge of Vagrancy which was a catch-all type of excuse much like loitering which most places have abolished. All they had to say they saw suspicious behavior, meaning anything. Since this was outside of Las Vegas, a 24-hour town, driving around in the middle of night was not a suspicious activity. I had a rented apartment, owned the car we were driving, and I had a full-time job. No one in the car had ever spent time in jail or were wanted by the law. We were not drinking, using drugs or doing anything illegal. This stuff has been around a long time it is not something new. I am very much against driving under the influence. Far to many innocent people are injured, maimed, and killed every day by these drivers. Bad cops should not be allowed to get away with their behaviors. Not all cops are bad, Ive met many nice ones that went out of their way to help latter in life. I dont have a problem with police stopping motorists at checkpoints for alcohol or drug use and driving. Neither am I offended going through a checkpoint near a border and having the dogs sniff my car for drugs or anything else, or check my I.D. We have a world with a lot of things going on. People who have different agendas and dont care about laws or peoples lives except their own. There are people in power who abuse it. It has likely always been that way on this planet. You have to use common sense sometimes, and pick battles that really mean something and can make a difference. I dont see that this lady proved anything but that she wasted her own time and those who were working to protect us from drivers who dont care if they maim and kill us while they are driving intoxicated. And, they quite often get off with a slap on the wrist after changing peoples lives forever and killing others. Hopefully, it does not happen, but one of her family members might end up (or herself) as one of those victims of an intoxicated driver. Perhaps she might take up that cause that is far more worthwhile, than having to show your D.L. to a law enforcement officer. You give up your rights to support supposed pre-crime prevention like DUI checkpoints, TSA, or other crimes against the people, you give up your rights period. There are far more important issues going on in the USA and the world. We need the police.If you want to change the police, find out what else is going on, stop it with help from the police if needed, and then see what is needed to improve the police after you no longer need them. In the meantime, they may one day, be one of your children or grandchildren. Stop making the good guys look bad. Very few are bad but bad exists for sure and it needs to be dealt with. Playing around at a DIU check point solves nothing and wasted everyones precious time. energy and money. The reason you got away with it, is because you are a grandmother. They were showing you respect. Why didnt you see this? If you must have something to complain about, and if you actually have the courage to step up and fight for something important, find out all you possibly can about the implemented, already in all schools in the world, Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE). You are not going to believe what is being done to your children, grandchildren and the children of the world. The CSE is a front for corrupting the minds of children and they are being taught that anything goes. You need to watch the Vimeo documentary to really see where this will lead. Its worse than any war to date. Its a War on Children based on teaching them immoral sexual ideas presented as normal. Watch Vimeo The War On Children documentary based on what is being taught in schools about sexual education. That is the CSE programs. However, there are many other War on Children documentaries and youtubes. Make sure you get the right one and dont get side tracked. You need to know there are more things going on behind closed doors that demand your attention right now, than playing games with the police who are as imperfect as all of us are. They are human. Humans err. Watch the documentary and step up to that plate. Its the most important issue on the table today but just one of many. If you solve that one, there are plenty more for you to take action against. As imperfect as they are, the police are the army are good Americans trying to do their job. Read all of Abraham Lincolns quotes. Pick your battles and make them count. Your wild and crazy theory that because we have an issue in our schools that we should ignore an issue on our streets is a wild and crazy theory that I will not subscribe to. There are more important things to fight for is my only point. The policemen involved did respect Granny. That is very important to note and remember. We seem to dwell on the negatives the media report, and the media does not report the positives. There are far more positives but we are submerged in negatives. And yes a very corrupt power, even though it is a small minority of people world wide obviously, is continually throwing things in our path that distract us. It is not America but America is blamed. America and her people are fundamentally very good, but life is full of big and little fires Life on our exquisite, beautiful but suffering planet, needs balance and truth and perspective. We have to be aware of this. How do we stay focused and alert and on the job while continuing to enjoy the journey? How do we recognize truth? We need time to go fishing and reflect and get back to our inner source of wisdom and power so to speak. We dont live forever and no one knows when their clock stops. Do we take the path of least resistance and ride it out only complaining when something little gets in our way? Sometimes we have to do just that but there are bigger issues. Do we pray and ask for God to point us to the issues we really need to deal with? All of us, sooner or later have to pick our battles and get our priorities straight. This may be to stick our head in the sand at times but at least we should know the journey our policemen and our vets took to arrive at what the media reports as bad behavior. Why dont the media report as well the millions of good incidents of great everyday actions of the police and the army. Who are the media? The world today involves a higher level knowledge and awareness. I dont think any of us should read the newspaper everyday but we need to catch up regularly by some means. We need balance in all aspects of our lives to remain strong, centered and well balanced and as American citizens to protect what we have. Compared to the world, we are better off with democracy and capitalism. Its true. We have every opportunity to achieve goals no matter what circumstances we are under because there are ways and means available to us more than anywhere else on the planet. But we have to do the work. That is what made America great in the first place. Knowledge and awareness are the keys. The police are not the problem. They are trying to put out all the fires. United we stand and we need their help. If you major in minors, you waste your own power and the power of people who will unite with you to solve huge issues on the worlds table today. The police are human and they know what is going on too. The system is both good and bad. I dont want a world government because I dont trust the world organizations who would approve and put in place, all over the globe, this CSE program which is the most destructive to the minds and bodies of children ever put in place. I know this is an issue of destruction. Children are the future generations and this agenda will destroy more families that a world war. This is a sexual perversion War on Children. And they did this without the Media letting us know. So who are the Media? I do trust Donald Trump. He is a good man. He will be a fabulous President. He has not been careful enough of how he worded his concerns, but he does love America and he is toning down his anger about what has happened to America. As Kennedy said, Its not what your country can do for you. It is what you can do for your country. Obviously you really care but are you completely informed about the issues and have you picked one of the most damaging and joined forces to stop it? What happens globally is happening here insidiously. This is your time and your watch. There bigger things to deal with than DUI police checks and police who clearly respected Granny and Grannys concerns. Read Abraham Lincolns quotes and raise your awareness and pick on the really important issues. As you pointed out, you are being distracted from the big issues. Your wild and crazy theory that because we have an issue in our schools that we should ignore an issue on our streets is a wild and crazy theory that I will not subscribe to. sorry.. but she is driving a motor vehicle that is owned/regulated by the state, i.e., the registration is provided by the state and she is engaged in a regulated activity. I dont believe ID is optional when driving a motor vehicle.. If she was away from her motor vehicle and they asked for her ID, then Id use her line.. but because she has tags on her car, shes regulated and she doesnt have any freedoms.
