If they wanted to get an illegal search/detainment on film, they should have just complied and gotten it all on video and then go speak to an attorney.
What is the law on these type of stops here in Texas? Can they just stop you to check your DL or to see if you are intoxicated? Seems like this would lead to nothing but trouble...there is no probably cause for the stop.

Looks like this was in Cali. I'm curious as to how this has been ruled on before in regards to the Constitutionality of sobriety checkpoints and ID checks. If either of them are routinely done out there, I think these guys are fucked.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

Originally posted by davbrucas View PostI am not a cop sympathizer by any stretch, but those two fools went looking for trouble and found it. Whether or not the stop was legal is not something you are going to work out on the side of the road at night. The cops are going to win every time in that instance.

I agree the dipshits went looking for trouble. Fucking morons. If you want to stop shit like this from happening, you never give the police the power to do it in the first place because you know once they can they will use (and abuse it) and push it as far as they possibly can to justify anything.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

Originally posted by kingjason View PostThat is not an answer to the question. This guy hates the police so I asked if he would rather there be no police. Most law abiding citizens, that have a job, and act right, actually like the police. I realize there are a fewww exceptions here and there but hey how about when you drive around you have a license? I know it is a lot to ask and all.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

I have been stopped at DUI checkpoints in Tahlequah, Oklahoma on vacation and in Tuscaloosa, Alabama at my families land. It has been my experience both times the officers look around the car and do a visual check on my DL. Both of these locations were known for drunk drivers causing accidents.WRX

Ah, the "if I'm not detained, I must be free to go" myth. Ranks up there with those that believe taxes are illegal and they don't have to pay them. Go ahead and tell the IRS that you're not paying, see what happens; the same thing that happened here - the powers that be are going to get their way, period.
That doesn't mean I like it, but that's the way it is, and getting yourself arrested or posting a video on youtube isn't going to do a damn thing to change it.

Facts of the Case:
A Delaware patrolman stopped William Prouse's car to make a routine check of his driver's license and vehicle registration. The officer had not observed any traffic violation or suspicious conduct on the part of Prouse. After stopping the car, the officer uncovered marijuana. The marijuana was later used to indict Prouse.
Question:
Did the officer's search of Prouse's automobile constitute an unreasonable search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment?
Conclusion:
Yes. In an 8-to-1 decision, the Court held that the privacy interests of travelers outweighed the state interests in discretionary spot checks of automobiles. The Court found that random checks made only marginal contributions to roadway safety and compliance with registration requirements; less intrusive means could have been used to serve the same ends. Officers must be held to a "probable cause" standard for searches, otherwise individuals would be subject to "unfettered governmental intrusion" each time they entered an automobile.
Decisions
Decision: 8 votes for Prouse, 1 vote(s) against
Legal provision: Amendment 4: Fourth AmendmentOriginally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.
