i got stopped as did everybody but also detained for 20 minutes at a dui checkpoint last night

why was i detained at a dui checkpoint for 20 minutes

because my paperwork wasnt in order

is this nazi germany?

i thought this was to keep drunk people from driving

not to search for petty things

why was i asked to show my license , registration and insurance?

i dont drink but still was detained

is this why we have these checkpoints?

or is it getting us ready for marshal law?

they towed a guy in front of mes car and made him walk home on a dark road at 2 am

how is this keeping him /us safe?

dui checkpoints mean dui not papers please

The way I see it if one does not have a license, insurance, tags & registration up to date they don't need to drive. I keep my stuff in order and pay to do so for that privilege to drive.

Most likely the guy that got his vehicle towed did not have insurance the price you pay for not doing what is required to drive.

As far as DUI/DWI stops if it takes one person off the road that is drinking and driving then it was well worth it....:thumbsup:

agreed. I always have my info ready. Asking for these things helps locate people with warrants or those wanted for serious crimes.

I have nothing to hide....check me. Everyone has to have these. I'd rather they check for these things before I get hit by someone that isn't supposed to be driving or no insurance.

Driving isn't a right. It's a privilege.

so the jews had nothing to hide in nazi germany?

freedom to travel is differnt than driving

hitler did everything legaly

where our forefathers were criminals

how would someone having a licence prevent them from hitting you?

how can someone compare having to show a DL, insurance, etc....that you know is the law...to what the Jewish people suffered through in Nazi Germany?

If you don't want to show these things, then don't drive or don't complain if you are detained until these things can be proven.

It doesn't....DUI checkpoints is not just for driving under the influence it is also for other things like illegal activity or traffic violations or drug possession...in your case no papers...

That is in the pedantic clause of "if it's something I don't wanna hear" clause of 1998.

Clearly stated.

Quit living in the past (i.e. blaming Hitler for your minor inconvenience) and just shut-up and drive.

Hypothetically of course. smokin

so then why not call it search and seizure not dui checkpoint

and you are saying i should not have the free right to travel peacefully?

you do as long as you are obeying the law.

If you had just had these things ready, then you would be on your way in no time flat.

Sorry....no sympathies here

I agree with the OP on this one. Using DUI checkpoints as an excuse to check people for anything besides DUI is making an end run around the 4th Ammendment. The police need probable cause to stop you if you are driving your car. Setting up a checkpoint for drunk drivers and then asking people who are obviously not under the influence for their papers is BS.

plain and simple...don't drive if you don't like it. If you feel your rights were violated...take it up with the courts.

I'm not sure what Hitler or the Jews have to do with this. noway

But, the bottom line is that we have the 4th Ammendment for a good reason. Driving is a privelege, but stopping you can only be done with probable cause. Probable cause that a crime has been committed. Trust me, you don't want to give the cops more power than they already have.
