I don't care how you feel about DUI checkpoints or any police checkpoint for that matter.  The officers were being respectful and doing their jobs, the guy didn't have to be a complete douche.  He could have said he felt the checkpoint was unconstitutional or whatever and they probably would have let him be on his way.

That kind of guy will be the first one crying for the cops when somebody really violates him.

[ILIKEHEVI-13]

Maybe, but he didn't answer one of their questions.  You could clearly tell the guy wasn't intoxicated.  And again I see his point.

Apparently you or someone you care about has not been ran over by an intoxicated/impaired driver? I have! So whether or not you agree with checkpoints or not they are needed.

[Bwk]

Why couldn't he answer the question and I don't see his point other than he was being a complete jerk about the whole thing

[ILIKEHEVI-13]

Checkpoints are unconstitutional.  And rarely do they catch many intoxicated drivers who know to avoid them in the first place.  But rather they put a burden on other peoples rights.  When you give up your rights, then what do you have?  This guy just used his rights and it worked.

[runngun]

Unconstitutional? That is YOUR opinion.

What's the point in posting something with the caveat "I'm not trying to start an argument" and then arguing with everybody about their opinions?

The guy was a complete and total @#$%&!!!
After 30 years in the fire service, I've seen the horrors of drunk driving up close and personal more times than I care to remember. All the guy had to do was be polite and answer the question. He ended up causing himself to stay there longer than he had to. I'll never understand why people have to act like jerks towards cops. The guy obviously has a serious bad attitude. If I was the cops I'd have pulled him over and given him a field sobriety test since he refused to answer the question.

[ILIKEHEVI-13]

And I do see you guys points.  All good points as well.

It is never a good idea to argue with an officer in the field.  If you have a problem with his/her actions or conduct, take it up with their supervisors or in court.  Arguing or acting like a jerk on the side of the road ain't going to get you anywhere...except maybe in jail no matter if you are right or wrong.

yeah what a douche,,,,,,,cops should even gave id or badge number,,,,,,,,

[BOFF]

The guy may be exercising his rights, but he would have been long on his way had he answered a few questions. He's a complete










never mind.

Thank you to all our LEO s, EMTs, firemen, soldiers and public servants.
May you stay safe, and come home each night.



God Bless,

I appreciate good LEO's but I support people who want to flex their rights.  Keeps the bad ones in check.
