Me Refusing Police at DUI Checkpoint

critical

Decided to post this to educated people about their rights and how they shouldn't be intimidated by police.

Same thing should go for questions regarding how fast you were going or in regards to searching the car or popping the hood. Don't incriminate yourself.

Just wanted to go get some ice cream with my girlfriend when we are hit by a DUI checkpoint. After waiting in traffic I was flagged to pull over. My car was surrounded by multiple police officers on both sides of my car, and the officers were getting far too comfortable venturing in past the windows so I decided to roll them up. Know your rights and stop the encroachment of the police state.

Each to their own boss, the first lady seemed polite enough id id have just answered any questions that she had and gone on my way. Im glad that they are doing DUI checkpoints as there are way to many people who drink and drive out there.

I did find it funny that he "detained" you..then 1 min later let you go on your way when he realised he had nothing on ya.

More power to you bro.. Know your rights and exercise them. We need to make it known that we will not be intimidated by law enforcement and the ever more prominent police state. I love how the "deputy" paused and had no clue how to respond or what to say and Just continued to repeat himself. He knew you obviously knew your rights and he had no grounds to detain you any Longer.

The first cop was being passive aggressive.


All in all, bravo, bra-fucking-vo!!!
I don't have the balls to do that, or I wouldn't do it in my conspicuous car, and on a car that has ANY faults (broken tail light, HFCs, too loud exhaust, whatever) because while I have a deep respect for law enforcement, you need to know that if they want to, they can fuck you too... They can sit there, look over your car, hmmmm, see that you changed your license plate lights, give you a ticket for it being not exactly white, and now... You ARE being detained... And now, your arse is grass

I've had half a dozen stops just for giggles. Almost like "Hey, let me stop this car right here because it looks a bit too sporty, just to see if anything nefarious is going on inside."

Today I begin a 4-day trip from New Orleans to Barstow California and it's my guess that I'll be stopped twice along the way. I never get a ticket, but for some reason folk like to talk to me ... ask me questions ... find out where I'm going. Hmmm...

OK, I have to ask. Of all the California destinations to drive 2000 miles to......Barstow?!

I am not sure I understand what was accomplished other than re-enforcing that sports car drivers are ********. I am sure the next guy in a Z that gets the full and legal treatment as payback will thank you.

******* with cops does nothing positive for anyone. In fact I am confident that all it does is burn out good cops. There is a time and place for knowing your rights and demanding them...this was not one.

Both cops seemed nice, I would have answered their question. But that was messed up, both leaned on your car.
"you are detained..... Now you can go" lmao

Waiz

I wouldn't have done that, easier to just be lowkey and roll through.

I almost went through a checkpoint last night but turned off a street early instead

That was awesome haha.

I think people are missing the point here.. it isn't about being a **** or anything.. it is about exercising your 4th amendment rights.. Police contrary to popular belief do NOT have the right to stop you and or search your person or property without probable cause. A random checkpoint does not constitute probable cause, No laws were broken therefore they you have no responsibility to give LEO any information if you so choose. Its called the constitution read up on it, and exercise your rights.. Because you know what they say "if you don't use them, you'll lose them."

And all they CAN check (Last I checked) was that you have a DL, once you show that DL, you don't have to do or say or show anything.

Now, I always obey because I don't want to be harassed for my tint, or my whatever as stated above... And that gives the officer "probable cause" or now they have a reason to pull you over and give you a ticket
