Our prisons control populations through the use of controlled movements of prisoners through checkpoints throughout the prisons to make sure they are
not carrying contraband. Checkpoints are also used in War zones like IRAQ to make sure there are no terrorist carrying contraband.
These checkpoints work well in Prisons and they're accepted in Prisons because we all understand they have given up their rights after being
convicted of a crime in a court of law and thus that is part of their punishment - to live in a controlled state compound where they will be subject
to searches at checkpoints throughout the prison if they wish to move about.
Just who the hell do these bastards think they are treating Americans like they're convicted prisoners?
Checkpoints also work well in War zones where people understand if they want to move about they must subject themselves temporarily (until the war
ends) to checkpoints & searches in order to cut down on contraband (munitions & bomb making materials) that can extend the War and cause more chaos in
their lives.
I don't recall any bombings or anything like a War in the U.S. since Oklahoma City or 911. The U.S. is no War zone.
Now in certain areas of the U.S. they are testing the use of
safety(sugar) checkpoints (aka crimesweeps) brought to us by those LEO's who've
seen firsthand how well they work in Prison camps and War zones where they've got their training. They use the pretext of safety checkpoints looking
for DUI, seatbelt violators, drug couriers, and of course domestic terrorist in order to get additional funding from Homeland Security, ignore the
bill of rights through the Patriot Act & get the general public to accept these illegal checkpoints.
Once your vehicle comes to a checkpoint the LEO can begin routine interrogation and testing , visually check out the contents of the inside of the
vehicle looking for any kind of a violation of the law. You are subject to an LEO's misinterpretation of your answers, your attitude, or what the
officer sees in your vehicle, all without the right of legal counsel. All under the pretense of safety checkpoints
I don't recall being convicted of any crimes or being in a WAR zone, thus I will fight and complain about these illegal checkpoints as long as they
exist.
Since, we're all considered terrorist until proved otherwise and we all agreed to the Patriot Act none of us have any rights anymore anyway,
right?
