Ever see the cop cars roll out in force when they see someone flip a u-turn before the checkpoint? Not going through, constitutes probable cause, I guess that’s optional…🤮 Not going through does not constitute. As I said previously, at least here in MD, it’s law that the cops provide for a place for you to turn around to avoid the checkpoint if you do so wish. And they are also required to publicly acknowledge where checkpoints will be prior to them being set up. > Dark, why do you want to fight for some civil liberties, but not others? > > On a different note, a friend of mine is fighting for Civil Liberties in other ways. > > [http://pittspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?p=608450#post608450](http://pittspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?p=608450#post608450) > > Cliffs: > Circuit City employee asks him to open his bag and show his receipt. He refuses, the CC employee won’t let him close the door to get in his car. My friend calls the cops, and gets arrested when he won’t give the cop his driver’s license. that sounds like some bullshit. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dui-check-points/191980)._
