Ive actually stopped and asked. A lot of times if you get a good guard he will be straight up. Some answers I have gotten were that they recieve funding to do thinks like that each year, similar to the State Police roadblocks and check points.

Also, I have heard that its in response to some situation with some information of a person in the area who might have fled that you just dont hear about on the news.
