How Much is Too Much?

[TickleTimeTim]

when i started adding stuff to my car, i noticed more bad looks then good as well. Not to mention someone stealing my tow hook while i was in class one day. but in the end, i'd rather have the mods, then not.

And that if you have done nothing wrong line is bs. We don't live in a communist country, and by stopping everyone, they are assuming everyone had done something wrong.

Which is absurd. There is a reason you don't see road blocks everywhere, and that is because they don't do anything but annoy the heck out of people.

Trust me, if they worked, all law enforcement would use them, the reason they are nonexistent almost everywhere just goes to show you they are a waste of time.

Especially a road block in the same place. How will that stop anyone doing anything? They will just avoid it. wow, that is so hard.

So stop assuming everyone that says anything is placing blame, or hates the cops, or any of that garbage that you are assuming.
People can have opinions on things without someone like you coming in and saying crap like that.

~Obviously not everyone is subject to a check point, which is more than likely a sobriety check point or in conjunction with law enforcement relating to such issues as Amber Alerts or a wanted person of interest.

~The reason you don't see them everywhere is that not all states participate in SCP's. It has been ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court

~Check your words carefully before responding to a post. My statements were clearly defined and directed to a response from the OP and others without hostility. No assumptions were made in my response, I can only offer fact based knowledge from my own involvement with law enforcement as well as fact based, scientifically–sound studies, resulting in accurate results from the CDC. Decreasing alcohol related deaths and injuries by 20 percent or more each year from SCP's is all well and good in MY book. Increasing the arrest rate of individuals that obtain/carry/have/are etc. illegal firearms, drugs, warrants, pedophiles...and the list goes on, is a wonderful thing.

All I can say is that check points in general offer a great deal to our community.

and you offer nothing but your words to say so. If there are statistics and studies, link to them.

I simply think they are a waste of time.

No disrespect guys, but you can't always think negative when it comes to these things and law enforcement.

You said that. I'm sick of everyone saying that because you comment on a law, or what law enforcement does, you are against cops. it is absurd. We are on a forum, we can have opinions on everything, even what police do, without meaning we hate or are negative about what we are opining on.

I have no problems with the road checks. I have kids on the road, and if one road check will get one moron off the road, then it has done a good. If you're doing the right thing you've got nothing to worry about anyway.
