Voluntary government checkpoints spark backlash USA TODAY 12:30 a.m. EST January 7, 2014 Checkpoints, which the government insists are voluntary, are creating a backlash because of the presence of uniformed police officers. Some police departments won't participate anymore. A tactic used by the federal government to gather information for anti-drunken and drugged driving programs is coming under criticism in cities around the country, and some local police agencies say they will no longer take part. The tactic involves a subcontractor for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that uses off-duty but uniformed police at voluntary roadside checkpoints where motorists are asked on their behavior behind the wheel. In some cases, workers at the checkpoints collect blood and saliva samples, in addition to breath samples. NHTSA has said previously that the surveys do not collect any DNA. Drivers are not charged at the checkpoints. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/01/06/government-checkpoints-driving/4265633/ If they are voluntary then you should be able to drive past them without stopping, or fear of arrest. |

There shouldn't be any! Kind of my point  but ignoring them sounds much more fun since "legality" has little bearing on the happenings of our present gov't/admin standards.
He who controls the courts and media wins.....has nothing to do with rights, liberties or freedom. |
