The SWAT team would come running from the bushes and wipe out the whole family with machine gun fire and stun grenades. This is America,you can't say that stuff to a cop !

The constitution is ignored by law enforcement and we need to realize it really no longer applies.

The NMA has failed to tell you that once you are arrested, the search of your person and your vehicle will happen anyway without ever violating you 4th amendment right. Be very careful not to follow the advice of the NMA without first confering with an attorney to see what may result if you act as the NMA suggests that you do. Refusing to give the police your driver's license, registration and insurance information may be grounds in your state for you to be taken into custody until your identity can be established.

While one should certainly comply with these requirements, engaging in even seemingly innocent small talk could be a bad idea if you are suspected of being DUI. The best advise is to present your documents and assert your rights.

I dont like the police, think they are an invasive para-military group and have become a serious threat to the security and privacy of the private citizen and perhaps national security as well. Why don’t they get the same or more scrutiny by DHS (also a joke) as private citizens? Why aren’t they subject to the same laws as regular citizenry? (don’t tell me they are as we have all seen rampant abuses). never see nor been in a checkpoint in the USA. once or twice in Canada with the police looking for drinking and driving offenders but not here in the North East.

I thought the Supreme Court ruled on this several years ago? There was a case involving a driver from Iowa who was stopped for speeding. The cop decided to search the stopped vehicle and found some kind of drugs, if I remember correctly. The Supreme Court ruled the officer did NOT have probable cause to conduct the search because the speeding offense was unrelated to drug possession.

It also got me thinking, so I did some research on the Internet; I encourage you to do the same as well. Do some searches on roadblocks/checkpoints and the 4th amendment on Google or YouTube and you'll see what I mean. Also, here is a very interesting website everybody should check out too: www.checkpointusa.org The individual who runs that website is protesting the checkpoints and is involved in a full blown lawsuit against the police.

Without knowing how that affects my rights as expressed by this document, it makes no sense to print out this document and give it to an officer in that situation, which makes this article unuseful. Could you please elaborate on how this document and the rights it expresses apply at a roadblock where the officers are looking for drunk drivers and might request a sobriety test?
